Abstract
THE title of this book and the name of the author provide an indication of an excellence which is not belied by its contents. Dr. Dorée has, in fact, succeeded admirably in his stated object of providing a collection of the best available methods for the experimental investigation of cellulose and of its associates and derivatives. He has achieved this by drawing lavishly, but with discretion, on the literature of chemistry, physics, botany and biochemistry, and on the technical side, from journals dealing with textiles, paper, dyeing and colloids, and he has supplemented this information by his own original work and tests of the methods concerned. Theoretical discussion of experimental data is, perhaps wisely, avoided.
