See CROTON (Encycl.), where, however, we have fallen into a mistake, which it is here our duty to correct. We learn from Sir George Staunton, that the candles made of the vegetable tallow are firmer than those made of animal tallow, and free from all offensive smell, contrary to what was rashly said in the article referred to. They are not, however, equal to those of wax or spermaceti; but the latter of these substances is not within the reach of the Chinese, and the art of blanching the former is little known to them. The tallow tree is said to have been transplanted to Carolina, and to flourish there as well as in China.
