Abstract
The earlier edition of this book has been of very great value to all whose interests have been in the field of cellulose chemistry, and there can be no doubt, therefore, of the welcome which will be accorded to a second edition. The full usefulness of the volume can be appreciated only when the complete title is considered, since the reader will find, in addition to the multifarious methods of investigation applicable to. cellulose and its derivatives, concise accounts of the methods of attack which have been developed for investigations on lignin, hemi-celluloses and pectid materials.
The Methods of Cellulose Chemistry, Including Methods for the Investigation of Substances associated with Cellulose in Plant Tissues.
By Dr. Charles Dorée. Second edition, revised and enlarged. Pp. xii + 543. (London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1947). 42s.net.
