Excerpt from The Manufacture of Cellulose: A Practical Treatise for Paper and Cellulose Technologists, Managers and Superintendents Before complying with the request of Herr Fisher, publisher in Berlin, to compile for his technological library, a small work on "the manufacture of cellulose, " I have first considered whether there existed a necessity for such. Although several short treatises on the comparatively new industrial branch, the manufacture of cellulose have already appeared, the main published information has been in the several volumes of the Papier Zeitung, and other trade journals which contain a number of articles about special departments of the industry and relating questions. The above mentioned compilations are treated in a general way and are short, forming chapters of larger works on the manufacture of paper, while the different articles in the papers are so much distributed among others, partly also connected with personal controversies and views, that I have become convinced of the necessity and the meritoriousness of the labor. To sift this comparatively valuable material, to complete it with personal experiences, and by adding practical advice, to create an up to date book on the subject of Cellulose seemed to me eminently desirable and I therefore seized with eagerness the task assigned me. I also communicated with some men closely connected with the manufacture of cellulose, and to them I am obliged for valuable details. I have found, however, that it is impossible to give an entirely exhaustive account of this branch, because not only are the many different systems in use in the manufacture of cellulose patented, but almost every manufacturer endeavors to invest his process with all possible secrecy. I have consequently treated copiously but one of the best introduced processes, and the others I have but touched, sketching in the principal features of each. In starting the book I adopted the principle of treating the manufacture in its successive phases, and with each chapter to consider the peculiarities of the different systems one after the other.
