Abstract
THE numerous admirers of Prof. Alexander Findlay's writings will welcome this new and revised edition of a remarkably interesting and useful book. His masterly review of a century of effort and achievement in the constantly widening domain of chemistry constitutes a great tribute to the author's power of taking a comprehensive view of a subject of bewildering complexity and expressing it in a way as attractive as informative. The book offers something to all who have an interest in chemistry ; its character is such that it will be equally at home on the chemist's favourite bookshelf or in the lending or reference section of a library.
