Abstract
THIS volume is one of the “Encyclopédic Scientifique des Aide-Mémoire,” a title which sufficiently expresses its scope. After a brief description of chlorine, sodium and the properties of sodium chloride, the methods of production of salt from sea-water on the coast of France are described, followed by short accounts of the treatment of thevmother liquors of crystallisation for bromine, of the principal European salt mines, of the production of salt from saline springs, and of the Stassfurt deposits. The book concludes with a description of the impurities and analysis of salt, statistics of production in various countries, and of the use of salt in food, agriculture and medicine, and, lastly, a bibliography—perhaps the most important part in a work which is chiefly a compilation of facts obtained from other sources.
