Overview

Excerpt from Waste Products and Undeveloped Substances: Or, Hints for Enterprise in Neglected Fields I can claim no merit for originality in this work, since I have had to draw largely upon others for supplementary information. My object has been to condense into a brief compass such desultory notes and descriptions as would lead to reflection and investi gation, and probably induce many to utilize more generally products now neglected or overlooked. The volume has been passed through the press under very great dificulties owing to my onerous official duties at the International Exhibition, and my numerous literary engagements. Although this can scarcely be pleaded as any legitimate excuse for faults and short-00min gs, yet it may, at least, be fairly stated in extenuation for when the work was announced I had anticipated having more leisure for its arrangement and revision. The Object in view - the diffusion of practical informa tion on matters too much overlooked, -will, at least, be appreciated, and most probably lead to other works which may supplement the practical information required on many points.
