Abstract

AN investigation into the early history of any industry is of much interest, and may be of considerable value in throwing light on modern practice. Sometimes, as in the case of the bleaching of textiles, fairly detailed records of ancient processes are found, but it is not possible to compare the results obtained then and now, because a fabric bleached even one hundred years ago inevitably will have become more or less discoloured. On the other hand, there are many cases in which we can examine the results of ancient craftsmanship, but have no knowledge of the methods by which they were produced.

A History of Bleaching.

By S. H. Higgins. Pp. viii + 176 + 9 plates. (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1924.) 10s. 6d. net.
