Numerous books on the subject of soap manufacture the writer at the time found instructive, but in later years, when engaged in practical work in the soap industry, the same books were found to be little less than worthless..." Leebert Lamborn 1920. "While it is true that the works pertaining to the soapmaking industry are reasonably plentiful, books are quite rare, however, which, in a brief volume, will clearly outline the processes employed together with the necessary methods of analyses from a purely practical standpoint. In the work presented the author has attempted to briefly, clearly, and fully explain the manufacture of soap in such language that it might be understood by all those interested in this industry..."
