First issue of The Textile Colourist, a Manchester journal on dyeing, printing, bleaching and finishing of textiles, dated January 1876. It opens with an editor's introduction, then summarizes technical papers on lime juice and argols, methylaniline purple, eosine in calico printing, and vacuum colour-straining apparatus. It also gives a long collection of printing colour recipes (many for blacks), a purple-red colouring matter from cyanogen, sulphur as a mordant for aniline green, British and foreign patent lists and abstracts, notes on the printing machine and caviar as an albumen substitute, and reviews of books on dyeing.
