"The volume, which is clearly and popularly written, should prove
of the utmost service to all who are concerned with the practical
use of colours, whether as dyers or painters."--_Scotsman._

"To the practical colourist, and also to technical students, Mr.
Paterson's new work will be very welcome. We are often asked to
recommend books on different subjects, and have no hesitation in
