"This work is of the highest technical character, and gives not
only a full and practical account of the raw materials and
manufacture of glues, gelatines and similar substances, but gives
many hints and information on the use of such substances in
veneering, carpentry and many other purposes. Many tests are given
for glue in different stages of the progress of its manufacture,
and the commercial value of a commodity so much in general use is
exemplified by statistics and figures. It is certainly a valuable
treatise upon an article for which very little literature in any
form has previously been obtainable."--_Carpenter and Builder._

"Books on the art of glue making are more than usually scarce, and
users of that article, as well as those who may be tempted to
embark in the industry, should therefore welcome this book by Dr.
Samuel Rideal, a Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry, and a
leading authority. In this book he has collected the more important
facts connected with the manufacture of glue and allied products,
and stated the experience he has gained in examining various
commercial samples during the past ten years.... Dr. Rideal's book
must be regarded as a valuable contribution to other technical
literature, which manufacturers, merchants and users may study with
profit."--_British Trade Journal._

"This volume is the latest addition to the excellent series of
special technical works for manufacturers and professional and
commercial men issued by the well-known publishers of _The Oil and
Colourman's Journal_. The volume in every way fully maintains the
high standard of excellence of the whole series, and deals with the
subject of glue making and glue testing in a thoroughly exhaustive
manner. Chapters are given on the constitution and properties, and
raw material and manufacture, and of the uses of glue, and in this
latter respect it will doubtless be information to many readers to
learn to what extent glue enters into the manufacture of many
