- If the chemicals are too strong, or the sheets remain too long in the bath, or are not thoroughly cleansed from the bleach before they are re-sized, the certain seeds of decay are planted in the paper, and [...] in the course of a few years the enemy will appear, the fibre will decay, and the existence of the books will terminate in a state of white tinder.
