Abstract
THE ceramic chemist has waited many years X for a thorough and comprehensive treatise on the quantitative analysis of the materials with which he has had to deal, and here at last is what he had so long and so urgently needed. Dr. Mellor states that “this book is to be considered as the first volume of a treatise on the ceramic industries,” but the range of mineral substances used by the modern potter is so wide that Dr. Mellor has found it necessary to cover practically the whole field of inorganic analysis. At the same time, particular attention is given to the analyses usually required in the pottery industry; and here we may mention specially the chapter on the rational analysis of clays as not only thoroughly sound in itself, but as typical of the comprehensive and judicious treatment of the subject which is so characteristic of this author's work.
