The Chemistry of the Coal-Tar Colours (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Chemistry of the Coal-Tar Colours

Although England may rightly be called the birthplace of the coal-tar-colour industry, it is a remarkable fact that the English literature on the subject is very scanty, and that which does exist is now almost obsolete, owing to the rapid strides which have been made during the last ten years in the manufacture of coal-tar colours.

Numerous elaborate works are published from year to year on this important subject both in France and in Germany, but more especially in the latter country, by means of which manufacturers and students are continuously kept informed of the latest methods and theories. The want of a text-book of this kind containing a concise account of all the more important coal-tar colours has long been felt by the author, and has prompted him to undertake the present translation of Dr. Benedikt's excellent little work, "Die Kunstlichen Farbstoffe," which has met with such success in all parts of the Continent where German is spoken. The author may therefore not be considered too sanguine in hoping that the present volume will meet with some success in this country, not only as a stepping-stone for those who wish to make the subject a special study, but also among students of chemistry in 'general.
