Abstract
THE two works under notice both deal with the same branch of technical chemistry and presumably represent typical examples of the modern method of treatment of the application of chemistry and chemical engineering in industry. It is permissible, and perhaps of value, to examine them critically from the somewhat diverse points of view both of the chemist and the industrialist.
