[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “The Practice and Principles of Calico Printing, Bleaching, Dyeing,
etc”

By Charles O’Neill.
Published in Manchester by Palmer and Howe in 1878.

DISCUSSION: The author was a Fellow of the Chemical Society, a member of
the Industrial Society of Mulhous, the Society of Rouen, Editor of ‘The
Textile Colourist’, and had written several related books on the subject
of textile printing.

He notes in the Preface- “this work aims at giving a complete account of
the progress and present state of Calico Printing and the connected
branches of Bleaching and Dyeing. It is written from a practical point of
view, and is not a treatise for the instruction of those entirely
unacquainted with the business, but rather a collection of notes and
memoranda on interest to those who are engaged in it. ... It may be stated
that the author has had a long experience of the business of Calico
Printing, and this book is the result of notes collected during the spare
hours of active occupation in it”.

Quite scarce.
