"The numerous Dyeing Receipts and the Chemical Information furnished will be 

 exceedingly valuable to the Practical Dyer. ... A Manual of necessary reference 

 to all those who wish to master their trade, and keep pace with the scientific discoveries 

 of the time." — jfournal of Applied Science. 



"In this work Mr. Napier has done good service . . . being a Practical Dyer 

 himself, he knows the wants of his Confreres ... the Article on Water is a very 

 valuable one to the Practical Dyer, enabling him readily to detect impurities, and 

 correct their action. The Article on Indigo is very exhaustive . . . the Dyeing 

 Receipts are very numerous, and well illustrated."— TVx^/'/i' Manufacturer.

"A work that has become an established authority on Electro-Metallurgy, an art 



which has been of immense use to the Manufacturer in economising the quantity of the 



precious metals absorbed, and in extending the sale of Art M iiufactures. . . . 



Ve can heartily commend the work as a valuable handbook on the subject on which it 



treats." — JourJtal of Applied Science. 



"The fact of Mr. Napier's Treatise having reached a fifth edition is good evidence 

 of an appreciation of the Author's mode of treating his subject. ... A very useful 

 and practical little Manual." — Iron. 



"The Fifth Edition has all the advantages of a new work, and of a proved and tried 

 friend. Mr. Napier is well known for the carefulness and accuracy with which he writes. 

 . . . There is a thoroughness in the handling of the subject which is far from general 

 in these days. . . . The work is one of those which, besides supplying first-class 

 information, are calculated to inspire invention." — Jeweller a7id Watchmaker.
