Abstract
WITH the publication of the volume under review, the revision of “The Simple Carbohydrates and the Glucosides“is completed. In the present fifth edition of this well-known work, the original material has been divided into two volumes, one of which, “The Glycosides”, was published in 1931 and reviewed in these columns in that same year. More fundamental aspects of sugar chemistry are now dealt with in “The Carbohydrates”. In the preparation of both parts of this edition, Dr. E. F. Armstrong has had the collaboration of his sonâ Mr. K. F. Armstrong, whose recent lamentable death in the Tyrol has cut short a career of great promise. We take here this opportunity of offering to his distinguished father and grandfather an all too inadequate expression of our deepest sympathy.
