Abstract
THIS new volume, while showing many changes in the personnel of the contributors, and some increase in size, very closely follows the ground covered by the corresponding volume in the previous edition published fifteen years ago. The only definite change would appear to be the separation of the text on benzol with its derivatives from bitumens, so that it may be included later with dye-intermediates. With the extra space available, many of the more recent developments in analytical chemistry have received consideration. The newer indicators for hydrogen-ion control and the comparative testing of antiseptics, to mention but two subjects, have received special attention.
