Abstract
M. GEORGES MACOVEI. is well qualified to write a text-book on petroleum since he brings to the task twenty years of experience as a lecturer at the Polytechnic School in Bucharest and thirty years of practical experience of the Carpathian deposits. He has not hesitated to consult the works of already established authorities on the subject in England, France, Germany, the United States and elsewhere, but in addition has embraced many of the precepts of his fellow countrymen, in particular those of M. Louis Mrazec, of whom he is an admiring disciple. Those who are looking for originality may therefore be disappointed, certainly in regard to text figures, only about twenty of which are entirely now out of a total of two hundred and twenty-two.
