Abstract
THIS is the first volume of a series of handbooks on chemical technology which, so the preface informs us, are not intended to be highly elaborated treatises, but are rather to afford a general survey of the subject and to serve as guides to the larger standard works. Although the author of the present volume disclaims either originality in the subject-matter or completeness in the compilation of his materials, the careful reader will soon realise that whatever defects the book may possess, it is written by one who is not only familiar with his subject, but combines a full knowledge with the power of clear and concise exposition. A more comprehensive treatise may possess the.advantage of a work of reference for specialists, but a small volume like this will no doubt attract a wider circle of readers, and should find its way to the shelves of the student of general chemistry. We can only express a hope that the succeeding volumes may maintain the high standard of excellence attained by the pioneer volume of the series.
