There seems to be no good reason why white lead of as excellent quality should not be made by these processes as by the Dutch method, but the experience of practical men who have used the products of these modified methods has been unfavorable, and it is certain that a renewed attempt to introduce them here would be attended with much discouragement. The German manufacturers, however, have succeeded in thoroughly establishing their new methods, and manufacture large quantities of white lead by these new processes which they sell in the principal markets of Europe. It is possible that long experience ,and great care have enabled them to overcome difficulties which have been encountered by those who have attempted to introduce new methods on this side of the Atlantic, and to produce white lead equal in quality to that prepared by the ancient process ; but their productions are not in great favor in some of the European markets, and are frequently sold at a less price than old-process white lead.
