[Rarebooks] FS: Make Mine RED!!! - Important 1868 Study of Aniline Dye

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"On Aniline and its Derivatives. A Treatise Upon the Manufacture of
Aniline and Aniline Colours"

By M. Reimann.   Published in London by Longmans, Green, and Co. in 1868.

First published in Germany, here revised by William Crookes, with “The
Report on the Colouring Matters derived from Coal Tar, Shown at the French
Exhibition, 1867”. Aniline was one of the first synthetic dyes, discovered
by accident in 1856. The Preface notes that although there have been other
books on aniline, “none of these accounts [gives] a clear representation
of the actual state of the manufacture as adopted on a commercial scale.
Nowhere do we find a plain statement of the methods of obtaining aniline
and its derivatives, nor a description of the apparatus actually in use in
its manufacture”. This book was written to supply the need for such a
text. Uncommon in the marketplace.

Hardcover. 5.5”x8.5”, xiii + 164 + 24 pages, 7 line illustrations. Rebound
in green cloth with a yellow spine label and gilt stamps. Covers a bit
soiled, a little internal soil. Binders’ ticket for J.R. Connor of North
Finchley bound in at the rear endpaper.   $300
