Morfit — The Arts of Tanning and Cur- 



Tying : 



Theoretically and Practically Considered in all their Details, 

 being a full and comprehensive Treatise on the Manufac- 

 ture of the various kinds of Leather. Illustrated by over 

 two hundred Engravings. Edited from the French of De 

 Fontenelle and Malapeyere. With numerous Emendations 

 and Additions, by Campbell Morfit, Practical and Ana- 

 lytical Chemist. Complete in one volume, octavo $5.00 



This important Treatise will be found to cover the whole lield in the most 

 masterly manner, and it is believed that in no other branch of applied science 

 could more signal service be rendered to American Manufacturers. 



The publisher is not aware that in any other work heretofore issued in this 

 country, more space has been devoted to this subject than a single chapter ; and 

 in offering this volume to so large and intelligent a class as American Tannera 

 and Leather Dressers, he feels confident of their substantial support and en- 

 couragement.
