The Chemistry, Properties and Tests of Precious Stones
The book of John Mastin works very thoroughly and takes up all the information related to precious stones, be it for the practitioner or the enthusiast. This manuscript works out the origin of gems in detail and lists their physical properties-crystalline structure, color, hardness, and specific gravity. An interesting add-on included in the book is the influence that magnetic and electric fields will have on gemstones, explaining to the reader the particular characteristic qualities of each gemstone. From this perspective, the cutting of stones, imitations, and testing methods are analyzed. Whether for teaching purposes or simple curiosity, this book is an informative guide for any interested person in the allure of precious stones, as relevant for the general public as it is in the jewelry world.

The Handbook of Soap Manufacture
The "Handbook of Soap Manufacture" by W. H. Simmons and H. A. Appleton is an inclusive guide that has been dedicated to industry workers and newcomer stakeholders interested in soap production. It contains the constitution of oils and fats, discussing their saponification processes, while describing raw materials for soapmaking. It consists of practical subjects such as bleaching and processing of ingredients, different types of soaps, perfume incorporation, glycerine production, glycerine purification, analysis of raw materials, etc. Therefore, facilitating very complex information, this book can simply be said to be the precious gold of any individual who wishes to gain a thorough understanding of the soap industry along with production techniques.

Laboratory exercises in applied chemistry
Laboratory manuals and the like generally contain little more than mere descriptions of technical methods of analysis, and explanations of the underlying chemical principles or of their applications are seldom attempted. It is evident that such books can be of very little help to students. The mechanism of the reactions involved in analytical methods is by no means so clear that explanation is unnecessary, since a student usually begins technical analysis at a comparatively early stage in his course. This book is a solution for all these difficulties.The author, as lecturer in the Darmstadt Technical School, knows from his long experience that it is just the emphasis laid upon the technical application of an analysis which deepens the student's knowledge and understanding of chemical processes.
