 MALLEABLE 
 
 HH 
 
 EET ZINC 
 
 The Subscriber calls the attention of the public to 
 the superior malleable quality of the Sheet Zinc.which 
 is now coming into general use, for the purpc^jes of 
 covering Roofs, Flats, Virandas, lining Cisrerns. 
 Troughs, Tanks, Vats, &c., atid also foi^ Kain Water 
 Pipes, Eves, Gutters, Chimney Flueb, Cowls, &c,. 
 and may be used to advantage in all etises where lead 
 and copper were formerly required. It needs only an 
 acquaintance with its properties to ensure its general 
 adoption. It surpasses in point of malleability lead or 
 copper, and is ihore durable. The superiority of Zinc 
 over tin plates is very considersble, as it is not only a 
 great detd more durable, but when it oxides, instead 
 of destroying the metal, it protects it from further in- 
 jury ; and when broken up, which is pot necessary for 
 50 years, it may be melted in any vessel and id then 
 ^ worth half the original cost, being in a fit state for 
 mixing with copper to make brass. Tin being in plates 
 of 14 inches by 10, and the Sheet Zinc of 7 ft. by 2ft. 
 8 inches, there is evidently alarg^ saving in labour, an 
 one jointure only will be necessary to be made, whilst 
 in tin plates 40 would be required, and as 40 sheets of 
 tin are required to be joined together to make the 
 size of 2 sheets of Zinc, a great saving of metal will 
 be effected by^the difference of pieces lapped over in 
 making those jointures. V

 My Dear Friend, 
 
 I herewith send the Certificate you requested 
 from me, io your note of the 22d February last.which 
 I hope will be sufficient for your purpose. 
 
 I join to the attestation it conveys, my own personal 
 observation, made use of in building the £ntrep6t 
 at the Place des Marais, and I have ascertained that 
 this sort of roof unites aU the desirable qualities of so- 
 lidity, durability and above all of economy. The tim- 
 ber work for Zinc roof may be much lighter and moi» 
 simple than that required for any other sort of c6ver^ 
 ing. That of the Bntrepdt of which I have above 
 spoken, is an example of what I state.

 The preference which has been given m these m- 
 stance to this material, over the system pursued up 
 ta ^s time, sufficiently establishes its superiority 
 over all others.
