Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Dyeing, Vol. 1: For the Use of Practical Dyers, Manufacturers, Students, and All Interested in the Art of Dyeing Although the general arrangement of subjects has not been materially altered in the present edition, the great changes which have taken place in the practice of dyeing since the issue of the first edition - due to the introduction of new methods, new products, and new machinery - have necessitated the re-writing of large portions of the work, the addition of much new matter, and the omission or curtailment of certain parts of the original text. The illustrations of fibres and machinery have been almost entirely replaced by new ones, while the empirical tables for the identification of dyestuffs on the fibre, given at the end of Vol. II. of the first edition, have been replaced by the more rational systematic tables of Prof. A. G. Green. After careful consideration, it was decided not to re-issue the dyed patterns which constituted Vol. III. of the first edition, the authors being of the opinion that they were not of sufficient interest to the practical dyer. A special feature of the new edition will be found in the numerous references given in footnotes to current English and Foreign literature, but more particularly to the Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists and the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry. Although the number of original publications referred to in the former is small compared to that of the abstracts, no apology is offered for not in all cases giving the original reference. The English abstracts will, in most cases, give the necessary information, but if more is required, the original source is invariably given in the Journal. No efforts have been spared to bring the present edition up to date, but the authors are, nevertheless, conscious of the fact that, in consequence of the time that has elapsed since the first sheets went to press, and the rapid progress which is continually being made in this branch of applied chemistry, it has not been possible to include the results of some of the more recent publications and researches.
