Abstract
THE subject of the presidential address delivered to the Society of Glass Technology at its twenty-first anniversary meeting at Sheffield by Prof. W. E. S. Turner was “Twenty-one Years. A Professor Looks Out on the Glass Industry". This address has now been published (Society of Glass Technology, Sheffield. Pp. 70 + 46 tables. 10s. ; postage 3d.). Whilst its introductory and short concluding chapters are concerned mainly with the growth and development of the Society of Glass Technology and its international relationships, the major portion is occupied with an account of the great advances, mechanical, chemical and physical, which have revolutionized the ancient craft of glassmaking throughout the world. The volume is one for the student of social history and of commerce as well as for those interested in the advances of applied science.
