Abstract
PROF. PASCAL'S book is divided approximately into two parts, the first dealing with nitrogen compounds and the utilisation of atmospheric nitrogen and the second with sulphuric acid. The treatment is detailed and the theory of the processes receives special attention, so that the book is particularly useful in supplementing the more technical treatises. A very brief treatment of hydrochloric acid is given, in which the modern synthetic process receives most attention. The references to the literature are very incomplete, and many important special treatises which could be consulted, in amplification of the various sections, are not mentioned.
