"An UP-TO-DATE hand book has long been wanted, and Mr. Hurst has done
nothing more complete than this. An important work, the more so that
several of the branches of the craft here treated upon are almost
entirely without English Manuals for the guidance of workers. The price
brings it within the reach of all."--_Dyer and Calico-Printer._
"Mr. Hurst's work DECIDEDLY FILLS A WANT ... ought to be in the hands of
every GARMENT DYER and cleaner in the Kingdom"--_Textile Mercury._
