Excerpt from A Manual of the Art of Dyeing It must be admitted, however, that notwithstanding all untoward circumstances, the degree of advancement which the art has attained is truly astonishing. A Single practical hint is sometimes sufficient to cause a complete revolution in some branch of the trade, so that were the principles of chemistry in their application to dyeing but once generally understood by those practically employed at the trade, we can hardly conceive what changes and improvements might not be effected.
