Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Gases Met With in Coal Mines and the General Principles of Ventilation No further recommendation is needed of the merits of the treatise, but it may add to the success of the generous object which the author had in writing it, if it is known that of his many works for the advancement of the art of mining, this is the only one which can be made available for the benefit of his widow and family, from whom he has so suddenly been removed. The proceeds will go to the augmentation of the Atkinson Memorial Fund. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
