The kind of leather used for general purposes is basil ; it should be selected of an even texture and of a light
colour, as the lighter coloured basil takes the oak varnish
stain better than the dark.
This is an extremely crafty book, excellent for the crafts person

LEATHER INDUSTRIES LABORATORY BOOK
OF
ANALYTICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL METHODS
BY
H. R. PROCTER, M.Sc. F.I.C. F.C.S.
PROFESSOR OF APPLIED CHEMISTRY (LEATHER MANUFACTURE) AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED
THE following notes on Analytical Methods employed in Leather Manufacture were primarily intended mainly for the use of my own students, and merely to supplement verbal teaching ; and although the scope of the book has been considerably expanded, it is occupied mainly with the practical details of analytical processes, and makes no attempt to teach either chemical theory, or the principles of leather manufacture. There is, of course, but little original in the methods described ;
but with scarcely an exception they have been carefully tested and found satisfactory in my own laboratory, and in many instances they have been modified to suit the special purposes for which they are employed. The present edition has been thoroughly revised, and many new methods added, which, it is hoped, will prove useful to the practical chemist.

OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
THE little book which is now presented to the public is intended not as a substitute, but as an adjunct to
the Leather Industries Laboratory Book. It has been found convenient in the laboratories of our Leather
Department to employ in addition to the Laboratory Book, which is the regular text-book, a series of
manuscript laboratory sheets, giving the course of analysis absolutely essential to the practical student,
but omitting the many details and variations which are important to the professed chemist, and which are
described in the Laboratory Book.

11. Report of the Committee on leather for bookbinding (1905) 144 pages
EDITED FOR
THE SOCIETY OF ARTS
AND
THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF LEATHERSELLERS
BY
THE RT. HON. VISCOUNT COBHAM
CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE
AND
SIR HENRY TRUEMAN WOOD, M.A.
SECRETARY OF THE SOCIETY
THE decay of leather used for bookbindings has for long been a subject which has attracted
a great deal of attention and interest amongst librarians and book collectors. The first attempt
to investigate the conditions leading to such decay appears to have been made by Faraday, whose
historic researches into the condition of the library of the Athenaeum Club in 1842 still remain the
only serious attempt made to investigate this subject.*
Of late years the matter has received still more earnest attention, owing to a growing belief
among librarians that the quality of the leathers now made for bookbinding purposes is inferior to
that made previous to, say, the middle of the last century.
