[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

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

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

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”.
