Press Opinions. 



"It would be well if our English manufacturers would avail themselves of this important 

 addition to the extensive list of German publications which, by the spread of technical infor- 

 mation, contribute in no small degree to the success, and sometimes to the supremacy, of 

 Germany in almost every branch of textile manufacture." Manchester Conner. 



"This is probably the most exhaustive book published in English on the subject dealt with. 

 . . . We have great confidence in recommending the purchase of this book by all manu- 

 facturers of textile goods of whatever kind, and are convinced that the concise and direct way 

 in which it is written, which has been admirably conserved by the translator, renders it 

 peculiarly adapted for the use of English readers." Textile Recorder. 



" A careful study of this book enables one to say with certainty that it is a standard work on 

 the subject. Its importance is enhanced greatly by the probability that we have here, for the 

 first time in our own language, in one volume, a full, accurate, and detailed account, by a prac- 

 tical expert, of the best technical methods for the testing of textile materials, whether in the- 

 raw state or in the more or less finished product." Glasgow Herald. 



"The author has endeavoured to collect and arrange in systematic form for the first time 

 all the data relating to both physical and chemical tests as used throughout the whole of the 

 textile industry, so that not only the commercial and textile chemist, who has frequently to 

 reply to questions on these matters, but also the practical manufacturer of textiles and his 

 subordinates, whether in spinning, weaving, dyeing, and finishing, are catered for. . . . The 

 book is profusely illustrated, and the subjects of these illustrations are clearly described."
