Abstract

(1) DR. Lunge's “Technical Chemists' Handbook” is a new and revised edition of the extremely useful little volume, well known under the title of “The Alkali Makers' Focket-book,” and later as “The Alkali Makers' Handbook.” In many respects the new volume, in the preparation of which the author has had the assistance of Dr. Berl, is unlike its predecessors, which were intended mainly for the laboratory of the alkali maker. The scope is greatly enlarged, and covers a variety of industries. The old material is brought up to date, and there are new chapters on water for boilers, on coal gas and its products, on calcium carbide and acetylene, on fertilisers, aluminium salts, and calcareous cements. The book, although intended for the works, will also be found useful in a college laboratory in training the future professional chemist. It possesses, it may be added, a great advantage over many technical handbooks, for it embodies the results of long personal experience, and, being restricted in its scope, can afford space to enter into the minutiae of each operation.
