Abstract

(1)THE names of Sir Boverton Redwood and Mr. Arthur W. Eastlake on the title-page of the “Petroleum Technologist's Pocket-Book” would alone be an ample guarantee that thoroughness of treatment and completeness of content would be found in its pages, and the work fully bears out the expectation arrived at. It is indeed a miniature edition of Sir Boverton Redwood's monumental work on petroleum, and in its 454 pages of pocket-book size contains more useful information, tables, and data referring to every branch of the mineral oil industry than it would be thought possible could be got into a portable form.
