This work consists of a series of lectures delivered to the Hat Manufacturers' Association, focusing on the application of chemistry within the hat manufacturing industry. The likely topic of the book revolves around the chemical properties of various materials used in hat making, detailing the interactions of textile fibers like wool, fur, and hair, as well as the essential processes in manufacturing. The opening of the text provides context for these lectures, highlighting a period of increased competition faced by British hat manufacturers and the resulting push for scientific investigation and improvement in techniques. Watson Smith discusses the characteristics of both vegetable and animal textile fibers, detailing how these relate to hat-making, and he introduces methods for differentiating and testing these fibers chemically. The text promises to explore not just the fibers themselves but also the broader chemical processes involved in hat production, suggesting a comprehensive examination of the intersection between chemistry and textile manufacturing.
