Abstract
This book, which is one of the latest additions to the well-known series of “Manuali Hoepli,” contains some 940 recipes used in the arts. Among these there are many which will be of value to scientific workers. Of the subjects treated, the following are a few of the more important:—Coloration, plating and cleaning of metals; paper, celluloid, cements, ebonite, matches, preservation of fruit, flowers, eggs, &c.; bleaching, ink, oils, perfumes, soap, varnishes, ivory, glass, wine. So far as we are able to judge, the recipes given are practical and up to date.
