N my previous efforts to put before the paper trade a reliable Guide to the Manufacture of Paper, based upon my own practical experience, I confined myself to the raw material best known to me at that time. But since the issue of the last edition of my book a decade in papermaking seems to have passed over us; and, with the advent of a popular and comparatively new material, which is better known on the Continent of Europe than with us, and which is fast coming to the front, I con sider the present a fit opportunity to put my experience of wood fibre manipulation on the Continent before the trade: The result I leave to practical men. If I am enabled to add a little to the knowledge of those en gaged in the papermaking industry (especially the rising and younger portion), it will be a pleasure to me to know that I have thus been of some help to them.
