Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Dyeing and Calico-Printing, Including the Latest Inventions and Improvements: Also, a Description of the Origin, Manufacture, Uses, and Chemical Properties of the Various Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral Substances Employed in These Arts; With an Appendix, Comprising Definitions of Chemical Terms
It is to the mineral kingdom that the attention of chemists should be chiefly directed for obtaining new coloring pro ducts. The vegetable and animal kingdoms do not keep pace in furnishing a supply equal to the demand. The most bril liant colors are exhibited in the carnelian, the ruby, the emerald, and other gems; these may yet be imitated by art, and, like the famous lapis lazuli, rendered subservient to the purposes of coloring.
