Preface

TO

THE SECOND EDITION.

In preparing this present Edition we have adhered strictly to the original plan and scope of the work, which is that of a text-book of principles, and not either an exliaustive treatise or a minutely descriptive manual of the manufacturing art. We have endeavoured at the same time to bring the matter of the bouk to the level of later developments, some of which are of such importance as to necessitate the re-writing of certain sections, notably those dealing with the Chemistry of Cellulose and the operations of Sizing, Loading and Colouring. Our aim is to present the subject to the reader according to its scientidc perspective ; to furnish a guide for the student or apprentice in acquiring his practical experience to the best advantage, and for those who have a working experience of Paper-making, in reviewing either for pleasure or profit, the multitude of facts to be observed in the daily routine of the mill.

Vi PAPER-MAKING.

We wish to thank our friend Mr. A. D. Lit- rLEj of Boston, Mass., for permission to make use of his work on ' The Chemistry of Paper-Making ' ; onr thanks are also due to the Publishers of this book, the Howard Lockwood Publishing Company, for the right to reproduce portions of the text.

The Engineering firms of Messrs. Bertram, Ltd., Jas. Bertram and Sons, Ltd., Masson and Scott, Ltd., Mather and Platt, Ltd., have shown their usual courtesy in supplying particulars and drawings of machinery.
