""As a student of the chemical and technological history of fatty materials, the title (in English translation) and the remarkable illustrations immediately caught my eye. No western monograph on oilseed technology ever pictured the processes of oil extraction so vividly..."

Since so few firsthand descriptions of 19th century Japanese technology are accessible to western readers, this English version of Seiyu Roku may prove useful for historians of industrial technology." (Preface).
