"A Text-book of Paper-making" by C. F. Cross and E. J. Bevan is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the principles and practices involved in the art and science of paper-making, emphasizing the importance of understanding the chemical properties of cellulose and its various sources. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive guide for students and professionals interested in the technical processes behind producing paper. The opening of the text introduces the authors' intent and methodological foundation. It outlines their objective to illustrate the scientific principles underlying paper production and to detail the raw materials, primarily vegetable fibers, used in the manufacturing process. Through an exploration of cellulose—its chemical properties, extraction methods, and significance in the paper-making industry—the book sets the stage for a detailed analysis of various fibers. It also acknowledges the contributions of various individuals and publications to enrich the content provided, indicating a collaborative effort to advance understanding in this industrial field.
