Partly based upon the section dealing with 'vulgar' or house-painting that appeared in John Smith's The Art of Paynting in Oil (1676). It includes how graining in imitation of mahogany was produced: "first coat, white lead; second coat orange (with orange lead); the finished with burnt terra de Sienna, with a flat brush waving and imiating the veins as they run in any fine piece of mahogany."
First published in this form in 1821.
