Abstract
AS specialisation in all subjects develops, there can be little doubt that the text-book of the future will consist of a series of short monographs by experts forming a symposium of the various phases of the subject. In this instance the single material starch requires eighteen such monographs, occupying 240 pages, to cover its chemistry and technology, and the remarkable bibliography which follows requires a further 330 pages.
