Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Coal Tar Colours, and on Recent Improvements and Progress in Dyeing and Calico Printing: Embodying Copious Notes Taken at the Last London International Exhibition, and Illustrated With Numerous Patterns of Fabrics Dyed With Aniline and Other Colours
I wish, however, to state that the processes of which I shall speak are those generally known to calico-printers and dyers; for it will be easily understood that many may use methods peculiarly their own, and that it would be a breach of confidence were I to publish any such pro cesses that may have been communicated to me.
I shall divide the subject into two heads. First, treating of new dyeing materials Obtained from well-known dyestuffs, and then of dye stuffs altogether new, together with their application to dyeing. Secondly, I shall consider the subject of calico printing.
