Soap and Candles
"Setting aside the historically
unknown facts as to who discovered or first made soap, and confining
our attention to our modern industrial environment we need only be
concerned with the fact that the extraction of lye from wood-ashes,
Fig. 1 and its boiling up with the fat-remnants of the kitchen were the
duty of the early housewife;... 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..." E.G. Thommssen
1922.
