Guest guest Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 I just uploaded a few image files from my book by Septimus Piesse on perfumery (1879 edition). These first few are relevant to recent group posts. As I get time to process more of the scanned images I will add a few more. The whole book is around 500 pages so I will have to be selective in what I upload. Some will find these of great interest. Martin Watt http://www.aromamedical.com Quote

Please do upload the pages that you feel are relevant when you have the time. Ta, Stacey Note to all: I spent 2 weeks last summer with Martin and his many reference materials dating from way back when... just wish I could have soaked more of them in while I was there. (Note: yes, he is a bear, but also a formidable debater and an even more gracious host.) Quote
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 The entire book is free to download in various formats. I love the PDF version since it's searchable. This site has the most formats, including Rocketbook, Ipod, etc. I have links to many free books of antiquity that have to do with perfumery and toiletries if anyone is interested - just let me know. In the meantime, here's the Piesse book: http://manybooks.net/titles/piesseg16371637816378-8.html My students adore the Piesse book and many have written essays based on it - and I know a famed natural perfumer who recently re-read the entire book for an interview based on Piesse.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 What I think I should do is upload them to a webpage in a few days when I have some time. Currently they're just available on my class website for my students. Remind me, Sherri, if I forget.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Great, I did not know that book was on-line. That will save me a heap of work processing the book scans. Just a word of caution, there are an enormous number of formulas that would not be used nowadays for a variety of reasons. So, take it as a great historical work and be careful. By the way,I have the first and fourth and they are very different. Martin Watt ATFE2 , Anya <anya wrote: > > The entire book is free to download in various formats.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 I must apologize. My workload is brutal. I just tried to create a webpage but it will take me hours to do all the transferring of links, etc. Perhaps Martin can research them - they're all out there on the web. Sorry for jumping ship on this project, I am just working 18 hour days at this point. Enjoy the Piesse, though, and there are many various editions on the web, I just posted one.
