| Summary | "Glass and Glass Manufacture" by Percival Marson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work comprehensively details the history, chemistry, materials, and processes involved in glassmaking, reflecting on its evolution from ancient times to its critical role in modern industries. With a focus on both the practical aspects and scientific principles of glass production, the book serves as a resource for those becoming engaged in the glass industry or studying its technicalities. The opening of the text establishes the significance of glass in daily life and various industries, highlighting its historical roots dating back to the early Phoenicians and Egyptians. It discusses the advent of glassmaking techniques and materials over time, emphasizing the increasing reliance on glass in domestic settings and scientific applications, especially in the wake of World War I. Marson notes the urgency of developing glass manufacturing capabilities, particularly in Britain, due to wartime dependencies on foreign suppliers. He aims to provide foundational knowledge of glass manufacture to stimulate interest and education in this complex subject. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
