Abstract
YOUR commendation of the Royal Society's Exhibition of Pure Science at the British Empire Exhibition, Wembley, will, I feel sure, be welcomed by all readers of NATURE. I hope you will allow me to suggest that it might be supplemented by a word of praise for the scientific chemistry exhibits, which, owing to the admirable enterprise and liberality of the chemical manufacturers, were detached from the science exhibits of the Royal Society and placed as a sort of intellectual heart in the centre of the fine display of manufacturing chemistry in the Palace of Industry. Incidentally also, this gave rise to the striking book on “Chemistry in the Twentieth Century” and to the publication of a series of popular pamphlets which have had a large sale in the Exhibition.
