Excerpt from A Dictionary of Dyes, Mordants, and Other Compounds Used in Dyeing and Calico Printing Our chief endeavour has been to produce a. Book which would be of practical use in the laboratories of Colour Chemists, &c. Methods of applying the Dyes, Mordants, &c., are not given, as these are to be found in the Manual referred to, but in certain other directions there has necessarily been some overlapping between the new and the older work, and we have, with the permission of the authors of the latter, made extracts from that work when ever it seemed desirable to do so.
