The Chapter on "Dyestuff Comparisons ; and the Testing of Dyestuffs" will be found of particular service by those who are unable to go through a course of technical study and by leather dyers in general. The whole of the matter of the book has been revised." A contemporary review of the first edition had commented: " Its scope is as comprehensive as the title implies and the author most painstakingly describes and explains in detail the machinery methods and meaning of the numerous processes involved in leather dressing yet in such a manner that it should commend itself equally to the skilled workman manufacturer or investigator. After a general introduction and account of the preliminary processes for the preparation of the leather such as splitting and shaving scouring and bleaching the author passes to the section on dyeing. The coal-tar dyes are discussed in detail and special attention is given to the most economical methods of furnishing the dye bath.An elementary account of the theory of light and complementary colours leads up to an excellent description of the matching of shades.The book provides a full account of the various processes of 'finishing' with fat liquors &c. and closes with chapters on mechanical finishing such as printing and graining. An interesting section is provided by a chapter on novelties and fancy articles such as 'marbles' and 'bronzes.' The treatise is well printed and illustrated and is provided with numerous excellent samples of leather illustrating the effects obtainable with the various dyes described. One or two pencil notes endpapers cracked at hinges and joints somewhat pulledsome offsetting of the leather specimens sometimes penetrating the tissue guards and offsetting the facing page otherwise Good.
