Excerpt from The Dyeing and Cleaning of Textile Fabrics: A Handbook for the Amateur and the Professional IN placing before the reader these useful recipes and processes it has been necessary to use some terms not familiar to everyone, and, therefore, some pages are first taken up with a description and elucidation of such matters as may reasonably be supposed to need explanation. The different processes are class ified as much as possible, and directions for dyeing occupy the first part of the book, while cleaning and re-dyeing are treated afterward. Some recipes do not admit of exact classification, and some are ap plicable to more than one class of materials; but it is hoped that by a frequent use of the index, which it has been the intention to make fairly complete, the user of the book will be able to find what he needs.
