In the United States, however, several elaborate treatises of foreign origin have appeared, and to these the author has been indebted for much valuable information, especially as regarda the Continental methods of making ordinary soaps and toilet soaps, given by Dussauce, Oristiani, Ott, and Kiirten. An important feature in the present volume is the chapter on the Recovery of Glycerine from Waste Leys, in which many processes for recovering this valuable product are given. Although it would not have been possible nor even desirable to include every known process of soap-making, a great number of processes in an abridged form are given, which cannot fail to be useful to the manufacturer. To write an original work upon an art which has been iv PREFACE. built up, s0 to speak, by the ingenuity of the great host sf inventors and patentess, would be an impossibility: the present work, therefore, must be accepted as an epitome of their collective processes and improvements rather than as an original treatise, and the Author trusta that in his endeavour to produce a work which would be nsefal both as a practical handbook and source of general reference, he may not have been wholly unsuccessful. PUBLISHERS’ NOTE TO THE FIFTH EDITION. Tue present edition of this work is substantially a reprint of the last edition, with a new Appendix (left by Mr. Watt in MS., and now first printed) on the subject of Canpiz-Makine, which, with its illustrations, it is believed will be found a very useful and acceptable addition. Owing to the death of Mr. Watt a few months after the preparation of the last edition, the work has not undergone any further revision at his hands, though the opportunity has been taken of making a few corrections in the text, for which the Publishers are indebted to Mr. H. Joshua Phillips, F.I.C. However, from the continued and large demand for the work, it is abundantly evident that, as revised and enlarged by the Author, the volume amply falfils the purpose with which it was designed.
