Abstract
A MELANCHOLY circumstance attaches to this book, which to a large extent disarms criticism. Before the section on sulphuric acid, for which Major Foucar, a former assistant manager of the Beckton Gas Works, was responsible, was ready for the press, war broke out, and Major Foucar was killed when leading his men into action. It devolved, therefore, on Dr. Geoffrey Martin, the editor of the series, to put together the material which had been collected, and at the same time to extend the scope of the volume.
