Bamboo, Considered as a Paper-making Material / With remarks upon its cultivation and treatment. Supplemented by a consideration of the present position of the paper trade in relation to the supply of raw material.

The pamphlet examines bamboo as an alternative raw material for paper, surveying species, exceptional growth rates and geographic distribution, and contrasting fibre yields and cultivation costs with flax, hemp, jute, and cotton. It identifies problems with using mature, silica-rich stems that demand harsh pressure-chemistry and argues for harvesting young, sap-rich shoots that can be processed with mild alkaline baths at atmospheric pressure to yield clean fibres. Recommendations address plantation layout, irrigation, staged cutting for continuous supply, on-site processing to reduce transport, and practical treatment methods, concluding with considerations of the paper trade's raw-material supply.
