Publisher's Synopsis
This vintage book contains a complete handbook on aloe fibres, dying and tanning materials, and drugs, first published in 1890. This excellent and extensive guide will be of considerable utility to modern readers with an interest in natural materials used in industry and manufacturing, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Preparation of and Trade in Aloe Fibre in Mauritius", "Aloe Fibre and its Preparation--By Evenor de Chazal", "Notes by Albert Daruty", "Description of the Machines by Régis de Chazal", "All About Dye Stuffs, Oils, Tanning Substances, Fibres, Starches, Caoutchouc, Tobacco, Drugs &c., Found in Crylon", "Dye Stuffs", "Oils", "Tanning Substances", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
