Abstract
THE rapid expansion in the demand for paper and for newsprint consequent on the spread of education, as well as the habit of wrapping everything up in several coverings of paper or cardboard, is a fact which, besides its special significance as an index of progress, causes concern to those who have to find new raw materials for the paper-maker. Commencing in the period of intellectual revival after the Napoleonic wars, when the consumption of paper per head in Great Britain was only an ounce or so per annum, the demand has continued until to-day it has been estimated at more than 70 lb. a head.
