Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Whiteleadnoun
White lead is made by taking sheet-lead, and having cut it into long and narrow slips, they make it up into rolls, but so that a small distance may remain between every spiral revolution. These rolls are put into earthen pots, so ordered that the lead may not sink down above half way, or some small matter more in them: these pots have each of them very sharp vinegar in the bottom, so full as almost to touch the lead. When the vinegar and lead have both been put into the pot, it is covered up close, and so left for a certain time; in which space the corrosive fumes of the vinegar will reduce the surface of the lead into a more white coal, which they separate by knocking it with a hammer. There are two sorts of this sold at the colour shops, the one called ceruse, which is the most pure part, and the other is called white lead. John Quincy
