Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Preparation and Uses of White Zinc Paints
The object of this examination of white zinc is not to revive polemical discussions now extinct in France owing to the passing of the Act interdicting, in France, the use of white lead in all paintwork in buildings.
This treatise must not be taken for anything but what it really is, namely (1) a practical and scientific guide to the judicious use of white zinc (2) a Sketch of its ?uctuating history and more especially (3) as complete an exposition as possible of the indispensable technical knowledge required by practical men to understand this white pig ment well, SO as to be able to demand of it all it is capable of doing, and not to require of it what it cannot do.
There is no need to fear double dealing in the Author's developments; his explanations are always sincere and. Clearly expressed. Likewise, no one will find under his pen any form of advertisement, for it is as a practical and not as a commercial man that he writes.
