Abstract

(1, 2 and 3) THESE three volumes belong to the well-known and excellent “Manuali Hoepli.” Dr. Facchini's treatise is the first volume of a series which, when completed, will cover the whole ground of the industry of fats, oils and soaps. It deals with the general chemistry of the fats and waxes, and the methods used in their analysis. It is a concise but fairly complete summary of the information included in the larger treatises on the subject, and should prove a useful book of reference in cases where the larger works are not available. The same remarks apply to the treatise on gums and resins by Dr. Settimj, which necessarily is in the main but a well-arranged and useful abstract of Tschirch's standard handbook.
