teel-faced, but the facing cannot be
renewed, as it cannot be removed. The zinc plate on which Mr. Lansil's
little etching, given in this volume, is executed, was steel-faced. It
is feasible also, the electrotypers tell me, to deposit a thin coating
of copper on the zinc first, and then to superimpose a coating of steel.
In that case the steel-facing can be renewed as long as the
copper-facing under it remains intact.

LIST OF WORKS ON THE PRACTICE AND HISTORY OF ETCHING.[E]

[E] This list is very far from being complete, especially in the last
section, "Individual Artists." I have made a few additions, which have
been marked by an asterisk. Those who desire to pursue the subject
will find a very full bibliographical list in J. E. WESSELY'S
_Anleitung zur Kenntniss und zum Sammeln der Werke des Kunstdruckes_,
Leipzig, Weigel, 1876, p. 279 et seq.--_Translator._
