Abstract
THOUGH somewhat later in the time of its appearance, this valuable publioation is happily not much thicker than its precursors, and the volume before us gives in reasonable space an excellent summary of the chief advances in chemistry and applied chemistry recorded in the year 1900. The labour of writing is distributed among authorities of the highest competence, and the result is correspondingly satisfactory. It is true that the information is in a highly condensed form, but the present writer is able to say of the subjects on which he is at all qualified to speak that they are dealt with in summaries which bear the impress of informed writers rather than hack abstractors, and that they will continue to serve well the useful purpose of assisting all those who are engaged in the difficult task of keeping themselves moderately well informed of chemical progress.
