' The publisher is not aware that any special treatise of the same kind is at present in circulation, or indeed has ever previously attempted . Owing to the absence of such a work, thousands who would be glad to obtain a rational knowledge of the products they deal, have no opportunity of gratifying that desire except by resorting to cyclopaedias and cumbrous volumes of that class, which hardly ever contain the information they are seeking . All that is herein inserted may be relied on as strictly correct, and as presenting the results of the latest discoveries of improvement in each brand of the subjects ' - from the Preface.
