Abstract
A LIST of those who have set forth their views on some aspect or other of the reaction between lime and soil would be an almost complete list of the world's soil chemists. It is not only—perhaps not chiefly—because of the economic importance of the liming of soils that so much scientific work and thought have been given to the matter. Economic considerations undoubtedly brought about the inception of the work (and still remain in some quarters the diplomatic excuse for its pursuit), but the enormous development of the work is in large measure the result of the sheer fascination of an elusive problem, which seems to be more complicated with each step taken towards its solution.
