In the last, sixteenth, and earlier centuries, the trade in chamois leather was much more considerable than at prosent because, in those periods, it was extensively used for clothing, particularly in the armies. It is now, however, abandoned for this purpose, in consequence of its permeability, owing to which it readily absorbed moisture, and parted with it bnt slowly qualities which kept the wearer in continual. danger of cold and rheumatic complaints. 

In the manufacture of chamois leather the skins are prepared by passing through the lime vats, scraping on the home, et cetera, in the ordinary way and when these preliminaries are effected, and the lime removed in the lactic acid or bran vat, ns muc]i as possible, they are subjected to the frizing operation. This consists In rubbing them with pumice-stone, or the blunt end of a round knife, till the grain Is entirely removed, the surface softened, and an equal thickness obtained throughout. After this the skins are squeezed or pressed, in order to remove as much water as possible.
