Abstract
THE main impression conveyed by this compendious work is the enormous activity that is being displayed in applying chemistry and physics to the whole gamut of the arts and crafts. There may be signs here and there of radical advances, but, generally speaking, elaboration or Ausarbeitung, as the Germans say, seems to be the main feature of present-day work. The few who make a business of studying and card-indexing abstracts of technical literature may not require reports of this kind—for in the main they are little more than collated summaries of abstracts and patents—but the great majority of chemists who desire to keep abreast of the times will find them very valuable.
