LiUress is a kind of smooth cartridge-paper; it is made of two sizes, royal and foolscap, and only used in the of cards. Besides many of the papers already described, grocers use a thick purple paper, which forms a dis tinct class, under the title of sugar blues.
Besides the brown papers enumerated, there are some made for particular purposes, among which may be noticed a large coarse paper for strong pack ing purposes, known by the name of Manchester-papers : sheathing-paper, for the use of ship-builders, and tip-paper for batters, are also of a similar description.
It may be as well to observe, that although a very marked distinction has been made in the classification of the several papers, yet such in reality does not exist ; as the finest printing and sometimes even writing-papers are applied to wrapping purposes; instance the foolscap', crowns, and demies, used by grocers, Utten, and the like. In hand papers, again, some difficulty occurs ; elephant, which stands at the head of that class, is used almost exclusively for the manufacture of paper-hangings, being joined together, and printed on : it is made of various lies, according to the description of work for which it is intended. The e t crimson and satin hangings require a paper of the best printing quality, w 'ch will not, therefore, properly come under the denomina tion of hand-paper; but had these and similar particulars been permitted to interfere with the plan adopted, much unnecessary repetition and great con fusion would have been the inevitable consequence. We have, therefore, given
the most usual weights and sizes, which continue much the same, in whatever class the Flak of the paper may chance to place it.
of two kinds, those which are made at the paper-mill, either by colouring the pulp in the vat, by using coloured rags, or by dyeing the paper afterwards; and those which are made from white papers, by persons fol lowing the business of fancy stationers. In the first class, we find the coloured drawing or crayon papers for artists, coloured royal and demy for bookbinders, and the delicate tinted post and tissue-papers, in high repute with the fair sex. The second class comprises, in addition to some of the above, coloured double crown and demy, for posting-bills, coloured foolscap, (or small plain and glazed for fancy work, and varnish coloured papers, em in imitation of watered or figured silk, and morocco leather. To these may be added a very great variety of marble-papers for bookbinding, as also papers beautifully painted in imitation of the various valuable woods and marbles.
