Abstract
THIS textbook bases the justification for its appearance on, in particular, the fact that chemistry is a cultural subject, and that many pupils will not continue a study of the subject after leaving school. It may be said at once that the book is clearly and interestingly written, covering the range of the School Certificate examinations, and emphasises the applications of chemistry to everyday life and the paramount importance of the science in modern industry and manufactures.
A Text Book of Chemistry.
