Abstract
THE literature of the chemistry of cellulose is prodigious in quantity and very variable in quality, and bits of it may be found in anything from treatises on tropical agriculture to the prospectuses and reports of limited liability companies. Attempts have been made to collect it all between one pair of covers, but these have mostly resulted in tomes for reference rather than in books for students. With the development of technical education it has apparently been found necessary to teach students connected with the textile, paper, and other industries something about the chemistry of their common raw material—cellulose—and hence the demand for a text-book such as that under review.
