Royal Society of London, and became at once one of the noted men of the day. Notwithstanding he had never seen a tannery, his theories proved of incalculable value, and his discoveries were such as to mark a distinct era in the evolution of this important industry.

Nothing ever devised by the hand ofman has contributed so much to our personal comfort and physical well being. And so it comes about that every invention that cheapens the cost of leather, that adds to its durability or widens its field of usefulness, contributes just so much more to the happiness of mankind.
