“The general scheme which the author has attempted to follow is to take up in Chapter 1 the elementary constituents of paints with the quantitative methods for their determination; in Chapter 2 the dry materials entering into the manufacture of paints with a short description of their physical properties and the separation of their elementary constituents by methods given in Chapter 1; in Chapter 3 the analysis of samples consisting of a mixture of two or more of the raw materials described in Chapter 2; in Chapter 4 an interpretation of results previously obtained where it is desired to duplicate the sample analyzed; and finally in Chapter 5, descriptions and methods for determining the purity of paint vehicles.”
“The scope of the volume is indeed extremely limited, since it deals with the examination of only a few common pigments, and by no means exhaustively even with these; about some vehicles and diluents the information to be found in these pages is less meagre. This little book, with all its imperfections and its immaturity, is not destitute of merit.”
