Reimann, M.
On Aniline and its Derivatives. A Treatise Upon the Manufacture of Aniline and Aniline Colours. London Longmans, Green, and Co.: 1868. First published in Germany, here revised by William Crookes, with "The Report on the Colouring Matters derived from Coal Tar, Shown at the French Exhibition, 1867". Aniline was one of the first synthetic dyes, discovered by accident in 1856. The Preface notes that although there have been other books on aniline, "none of these accounts [gives] a clear representation of the actual state of the manufacture as adopted on a commercial scale. Nowhere do we find a plain statement of the methods of obtaining aniline and its derivatives, nor a description of the apparatus actually in use in its manufacture". This book was written to supply the need for such a text. Uncommon in the marketplace. Hardcover. 5.5"x8.5", xiii + 164 + 24 pages, 7 line illustrations. Rebound in green cloth with a yellow spine label and gilt stamps. Covers a bit soiled, a little internal soil. Binders' ticket for J.R. Connor of North Finchley bound in at the rear endpaper. |
