Abstract
Two distinct aspects of the technical chemistry of wood are dealt with in this book, namely, the working up of the volatile products from the thermal decomposition of wood and the preparation of tannin and other extracts from various classes of cellulosic materials. Unlike the majority of books of this nature, the authors have intentionally restricted theoretical descriptions and classification and have, so far as possible, concentrated on technical points and works' processes. In this way the maximum amount of information useful to the manufacturer has been secured, and general organic text-books can be consulted for the more theoretical underlying principles.
