This vintage book contains a comprehensive treatise on the manufacture of leather, first published in 1885. It contains detailed descriptions of all the processes for the tanning, tawing, currying, finishing, and dyeing of every kind of leather. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history and development of the leather industry, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: Hides and Skins, The Varieties of Hides and Skins Used for Leather, Removing Hides and Skins from Animals, Selecting Hides and Skins, Fraudulently Increasing the Weight of Hides, Preserving Hides, List of American Patents for Preserving Hides, Commercial Classification of Hides, Synopsis of the History of Tanning, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
