This work explores an innovative approach to tanning leather, proposing a method that forgoes traditional bark tanning in favor of using native plants. The topic centers on the economic implications of this new method, particularly in relation to the tanning industry and Ireland's trade. In the book, Maple presents a detailed account of his method involving the use of the roots of the Tormentil and Cinquefoil plants for tanning leather. He discusses the benefits of his technique, which includes reduced costs, quicker tanning times, and the potential to enhance local employment by utilizing materials readily available in Ireland. Through a series of experiments and testimonies from various professionals in the leather industry, Maple provides evidence for the effectiveness of his method, arguing it could improve Ireland’s economic standing by increasing leather exports while minimizing the reliance on imported bark. Overall, his work is a comprehensive blend of practical experimentation and theoretical advocacy for a shift in local tanning practices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
