• Philo-Tinctorius to the Chemistry Committee of the Society of Arts, 3 December 1765. In this letter, an anonymous inventor described his efforts to improve colormaking, and, perhaps, win a prize from the Society of Arts. Philo-Tinctorius discussed his research and offered a chemical rationale, based on Stahl and Hellot, for the experiments he performed, as well as the practical considerations behind his undertaking.
