Excerpt from The American Method of Carriage Painting: Embracing Full Directions for the Employment of Permanent Wood Filling, Varnishes, Japans, &C At the earnest solicitation of many friends and brother painters, to put upon paper a plain statement of the method employed and materials used by the best New York Carriage painters, particularly that of Brewster & Co. (of Broome Street), by whom I was formerly employed, I have at last found time among my duties as assistant editor of the Paint Department of "The Hub" to pen down the most important items relative thereto, with the hope that they will at least merit a careful perusal, and possibly shed a ray of light in the corners of some paint shop. That good results will follow from the formulas here laid down need not be questioned, for ocular demonstration of the fact may be had at any time in the work of several leading firms in this City, all of whom will testify to the accuracy with which I have detailed their method; and with the belief that my endeavor will give the reader as much pleasure as it has given me to jot down the following pages, I place the MSS. in the hands of Valentine & Company for publication.
