Abstract
THE, cellulose lacquer industry is one of great importance, and the manufacture and applications of these materials are advancing at a rapid rate. The present manual is written from the practical point of view. The style is often rather discursive, and although the author remarks that he will avoid technical terms so far as possible, this is no reason why he should not spell correctly those which he uses; ‘phthallate’ occurs several times. The account covers the whole subject, including raw materials, formulae, plant, pigments, methods of application, and the industrial applications. The book is well printed and illustrated, and it will be found useful to those actually engaged in the industry.
