=Press Opinions.=
"There is no question that this is a useful book."--_Chemist and Druggist._
"The different formulae which are quoted appear to be far more 'practical' than such as are usually to be found in text-books: and assuming that the original was published two or three years ago, and was only slightly behindhand in its information, the present volume gives a fair insight into the position of the varnish industry."--_The Ironmonger._
=Letter from the Teacher of a Technical Class.=
"As a teacher I have often been consulted as to the best work on Varnish Manufacture and kindred industries, and have been at a loss in recommending a really practical one. It is therefore with pleasure that I can now testify as to the merits of the book on these subjects by A. Livache and J.G. McIntosh recently published by Messrs. Scott, Greenwood & Co. In my opinion _no_ varnish maker ought to be without it; moreover, it is the best text-book that could be put into the hands of trade students or beginners. It has also the merits of being thoroughly up-to-date and of possessing a remarkably comprehensive index. I can conscientiously recommend it to my students and trade friends."--CHARLES HARRISON, Lecturer on the Manufacture of Painters' Oils, Colours and Varnishes, Borough Polytechnic, Borough Road, S.E.

=Press Opinions.=
"It is evidently the result of prolonged research, and cannot but prove a valuable consulting work to those engaged in the industry."--_Derby Mercury._
"The practical portion of the volume is the one which will especially commend itself, as that is the part of the subject which most readers would buy the book for."--_Chemist and_ _Druggist._
"This work just issued is a very valuable treatise on the manufacture of lake pigments of the coal-tar series principally. The plan adopted by the author in writing up the subject enables the manufacture to be very readily understood.... The general properties of lakes produced from artificial colours, washing, filtering and finishing, and matching and testing lake pigments are well and exhaustively described, so that no manufacturer or user of lake pigments can well afford to be without this work."--_Chemical Trade Journal._
"This is undoubtedly a book which will occupy a very high place amongst technical works, and will prove of exceptional value to all whom it immediately concerns. We have no hesitation in recommending it as one of the best works of its class we have ever read. Mr.
Jennison has set about his task with a lucid style, and with a complete mastery of his subject. .. We do not think students of the technical side of the paint and colour industry can possibly spend 7s. 6d. in a more profitable way than by buying this publication."--_Eastern_ _Morning News._
