Excerpt from The Dyer's Hand-Book: Containing About 200 Valuable Recipes for Bleaching, Dyeing, and Finishing, on the Most Approved Principle; With Patterns Dyed From White by the Process Given to Each
While preparing this work for the trade, it has been the Author's conscientious endeavour to carry out both the letter and the spirit of the prospectus. Without at all encumbering the work, he has sought to embrace most, if not all, that is necessary to the garment dyer, in whose interest it is chiefly written. At the same time, there is perhaps no branch of the dyeing trade but may find within its pages something, at least, to repay its perusal and outlay. As a concise and handy book of reference, brought down to the present date, it cannot be other than useful.
If inadvertently any subject legitimately belonging to the dyeing or bleaching trade has not been touched upon, on receipt of a stamped directed envelope, the Author will have pleasure in replying to any reasonable inquiry at his earliest convenience. As to any new method that may arise, or any present one not legitimately within the scope of this work, he will have pleasure in giving such information as he may possess, or in obtaining the same, as far as possible, from reliable sources. In the latter case it would be necessary for him to make a small charge, probably from 1s. 6d. To 2s. 6d., to cover postages and expenses. Lengthened correspondence is not, however, invited.
So many inquiries have been already made to the Author for processes of black dyeing, that he has given much attention thereto, and hopes they will be found ample for all purposes.
