The alkali industry was one of the success stories of Britain's industrial growth in the first half of the nineteenth century and was the base on which the modern chemical industry was founded. Until a century ago Britain led the world in chemicals and this book is a study of the industry's rise and subsequent decline until the formation of ICI in 1926.
