Abstract
THERE can surely be few works of reference which provide so rich a harvest of knowledge as this latest volume, just issued, of Thorpe's “Dictionary of Applied Chemistry”. Many of the writers are not only experts in their special fields of interest but are also active workers engaged in the promotion and extension of this knowledge. The impression gained by reading many of the articles written by distinguished authors is that no chemist, whether in the academic or industrial field, can venture far in his subject without having this volume for reference.
