The wide-awake practical man in any industry who is a thought ful student of the trade literature of his art finds comparatively little help in the now voluminous literature which forms a class of its own called technical.

Excerpt from Modern Soaps, Candles and Glycerin: A Practical Manual of Modern Methods of Utilization of Fats and Oils in the Manufacture of Soap and Candles, and of the Recovery of Glycerin

The writer, as a student in Boston, sought, but did not find, a technical treatise that dealt in a reliable and practical way with modern methods of soap manufacture and of the allied art of glycerin recovery. Numerous books on the subject of soap manufacture the writer at that time found interesting and to a degree instructive, but in later years, when engaged in practical work in the soap industry, the same books were found to be little less than worthless. The books were written by men of no practical knowledge of the art in which they presumed to instruct. Modern methods received no consideration. The information was second-hand, ill digested, and misinterpreted, and for obsoleteness was equalled only by that of the mechanical appliances that were illustrated and described. A description of reasonable methods of glycerin recovery, to say nothing of reliability, considering the advance of the art, found no place. The demand, which always has existed and which has greatly increased with the growth of the industry, for a book that would be of practical value not to the practical man alone, but to the beginner, whether he be employer or employee, is the sole excuse for the present work.

The wide-awake practical man in any industry who is a thoughtful student of the trade literature of his art finds comparatively little help in the now voluminous literature which forms a class of its own called "technical." In a progressive art the technical treatises devoted to it are as a rule several years behind the most improved "shop" methods.
