Press Opinions. 



" The book is well printed, and is a credit alike to author, printer and publisher." Textile 

 Mercury, 



" It will be a valuable addition to the technical library of every steam user's establishment." 

 Machinery Market. 



" Mr. Hurst has in this work supplied a practical treatise which should prove of especial 

 value to oil dealers, and also, though in a less degree, to oil users." Textile Manufacturer. 



" This is a clear and concise treatment of the method of manufacturing and refining lubri- 

 cating oils. . . . The book is one which is well worthy the attention of readers who are users 

 of oil." Textile Recorder. 



" We have no hesitation in saying that in our opinion this book ought to be very useful to 

 all those -who are interested in oils, whether as manufacturers or users of lubricants, or to 

 those chemists or engineers -whose duty it may be to report upon the suitability of the same 

 for any particular class of work." Engineer. 



" The author is widely known and highly respected as an authority on the chemistry of oils 

 and the technics of lubrication, and it is safe to say that no work of similar interest or equal 

 value to the general oil-selling and consuming public has heretofore appeared in the English 

 language." Drugs, Oils and Paints, U.S.A. 



" This valuable and useful work, which is both scientific and practical, has been written 

 with a view of supplying those who deal in and use oils, etc., for the purpose of lubrication 

 with some information respecting the special properties of the various products which cause 

 these various oils to be of value as lubricants." Industries and Iron. 



" A mere glance at the table of contents is sufficient to show how various are the conditions 

 to which these materials have to be applied, how much knowledge is required for the selection 

 of the right kind for each particular purpose, and how by processes of mixture or manufacture 

 .the requisite qualities are obtained in each case." Manchester Guardian.
