Excerpt from Practical Tanning: A Handbook of Modern Processes, Receipts, and Suggestions, for the Treatment of Hides, Skins, and Pelts of Every Description, Including Various Patents Relating to Tanning, With Specifications

This volume is, as its title implies, essentially a practical treatise, and the details of that practice are given with such clearness and pre cision, such absence of confusing technicalities, as is believed to de mand nothing more. As a typical illustration of this thoroughness, the author would refer to the section devoted to Sheepskins. There will be found complete directions for handling these skins from the time they are received by the tanner or the wool-puller until they are turned out as finished leather.
