Excerpt from The Manufacture of Dyes The manuscript of this book was sent to me by Mrs. Cain shortly after the death of her husband. It is printed practically as I received it, but I have added one or two preparations which I felt that my friend would have included had he had time to prepare this, his last book, for the press. It is evident, I think, that he intended the book to be a supplement to his earlier volume, The Manufacture of Intermediate Products for Dyes, and it is possible that he intended to introduce illustrations of plant and appliances such as those which are to be found there. After careful consideration, I have decided to make no additions of this kind, not only because I wished to leave the book as he' left it, but also because the plant described in the earlier volume is of the same kind as that which would be used in the manufacture of the dyes, and duplication seemed undesirable.
