Abstract
NOT only the student who is entering, or has just entered, that mystic land of chemical research, but also the ordinary student of chemistry who wishes to be more than a mere beginner, or a book-chemist, will hail with great joy the appearance of this little book on glass-blowing. We have not many good professional glass-blowers in this country, and, as the author says, it is a difficult if not impossible thing to get any instruction in glass-blowing; and, as a result, the great bulk of chemical students are as dependent on the dealers in glass ware as the bulk of amateur photographers are on dry plates and other things in that connection.
