Excerpt from Chemical Recipes: Nearly One Thousand Modern Formulae for Producing All Kinds of Colours and Other Chemical Compositions, With Full Explanatory Notes and Instructions for Manufacture
The main object in view in publishing the present edition of Chemical Recipes is to place within the reach of Small Manufacturers, Managers, and Skilled Workmen the means of producing the different commodities for which Recipes are given, without putting them to the cost and difficulty (a difficulty which would in most cases be insurmountable) of erecting elaborate and costly plant and machinery. Although more interesting to the Manufacturer on a small scale, we have, however, little doubt that the more important firms extensively engaged in the manufacture of different Chemical products, may find at any rate, some useful hints and suggestions which in the hands of practical experts may be successfully dealt with. An important matter for the consideration of the Chemist of today is the fact (now more than ever admitted) that in producing Colours, Paints, and like compositions, those made from minerals are, in respect of permanency, superior, and in shade and brilliancy in every way equal to compositions made from the products of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Moreover, as an immense amount of money has, during late years, been expended by capitalists in the thorough equipment of large numbers of mines containing almost inexhaustible stores -of such precious commodities as Iron, Lead, Zinc, Cobalt, Manganese, Arsenic, Tin, Copper, Silver, and Gold, it becomes a probability that few, we think, will be disposed to deny that Mineral Colours are the Colours of the future.
