Abstract
THE author of this work, in the preface, expresses his thanks to certain gentlemen who have been good enough to conduct him through their mills and explain to him the various operations performed therein. From this we gather that the author is not only not a practical paper-maker, but that, up to the time of writing the book, he had but a limited and general knowledge of the subject. These conclusions are amply justified by a perusal of the book. This want of practical knowledge can hardly be wondered at, as the writer is already an authority on such widely different subjects as soap-making, leather manufacture, electro-metallurgy, electro-deposition, &c.
