Abstract
THE first edition of this useful little book was reviewed in NATURE for February 17, 1916. Since that time, the subject of catalysis has undergone extensive developments, and the present edition aims at bringing the book up to date. Besides necessary alterations, two chapters have been added, one on the synthesis of acetic acid, alcohol, and allied compounds, and the other on enzymes, electro-chemistry, and vulcanisation accelerators. A number of references, both to text-books and to patents, are given at the end of each chapter for the assistance of readers desirous of obtaining fuller details of the processes discussed.
