Abstract
THIS is a well-arranged compilation of the available information about the substances which were actually used in the Great War, or which were about to be used when hostilities ceased. Some fifty substances are dealt with, and for each of them there is a brief history of its discovery and of its use in the Great War, followed by descriptions of the methods of preparation in the laboratory and of manufacture, where known. The physical and chemical properties are given, together with a brief statement of the physiological action, and in some cases methods of detection and estimation in the air. This descriptive matter occupies four-fifths of the volume.
