Originally issued as a volume of the series on pigments and colouring matters by the present author’s father, the necessity for a new edition afforded a welcome opportunity of revising “ Earth Colours .” Although, in the nature of things, little progress has been made in this subject itself, there was a good deal to add in connection with the mechanical appliances for treating the colour earths and manufacturing them into pigments. In other respects, too, the work has been carefully gone through and brought up to date, with new and additional illustrations.
The author desires to express his thanks to the various firms who have afforded him assistance in his task by furnishing illustrations and descriptions of new machinery, together with other information. It is hoped that this third edition will meet the approval of those interested in the subject; and the author will be glad to receive supplementary information to render the work more complete in the event of a future edition being found advisable.
Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Bersch.
