Press Opinions. 



" This work is written from the standpoint of the oil trade, but its perusal will be found very 

 useful by users of machinery and all who have to do with lubricants in any way." Colliery 

 Guardian. 



"The properties of the different grades of mineral oil and of the animal and vegetable non- 

 drying oils are carefully described, and the author justly insists that the peculiarities of the 

 machinery on which the lubricants are to be employed must be considered almost before every- 

 thing else. . . . The chapters on grease and solidified oils, etc., are excellent." -The Ironmonger. 



" In its ninety-six pages this little work contains a wealth of information ; it is written without 

 waste of words on theoretical matters, and contains numerous formulas for a great variety of 

 compounds for the most varied lubricants. In addition there are many practical hints of use 

 in the factory in general, such as of tanks, etc., and altogether the book is worth several times 

 its price in any factory of these compounds." American Soap Journal.

Press Opinions. 



" We think it is the most practical book on these subjects that has come to us from England 

 so tar." American Soap Journal. 



" Much useful information is conveyed in a convenient and trustworthy manner which will 

 appeal to practical soap-makers." C he mical Trade Journal. 



"Works that deal with manufacturing processes, and applied chemistry in particular, are 

 always welcome. Especially is this the case when the material presented is so up-to-date as 

 we find it here." Bradford Observer. 



"The best and most reliable methods of analysis are fully discussed, and torm a valuable 

 source of reference to any works' chemist. . . . Our verdict is a capitally produced book, and 

 one that is badly needed." Birmingham Post. 



' This is a better book on soap-manufacture than any of the same size which have been 

 published for some time. It reads like the ' real thing,' and gives a very complete account of 

 the technique of soap-making, especially of the machinery employed, the different methods and 

 even the arrangement of soap factories. . . . The book is produced well, and is splendidly 

 illustrated." Chemist and Druggist.
