Annual Chemical Directory of the United States

Abstract

THIS book, although primarily intended for circulation in the United States, has many features of interest deserving the attention of those who are concerned in the production of similar works in this country. It is a trade directory on a very broad gauge, and appeals to every section that is? interested, even remotely, in chemical science and the chemical arts? industrial organisations of various kinds, scientific societies, colleges, professional analysts, consultants, chemical engineers, patent agents, manufacturers of chemical plant, etc. In view of the rapidly extending trade relations of America with the rest of the world, and especially with Europe, it affords a considerable amount of useful information on chemical matters in Continental countries. So far as we have been able to judge, it has been carefully compiled, although, as might have been anticipated in a work of this magnitude, a few omissions and occasional press errors are to be met with. Certain of the agricultural colleges and stations in this country are omitted from a list which professes to be comprehensive. No mention is made of several imortant schools of chemistry in Great Britain, and the list of technical colleges is incomplete. The list of officers of some of our scientific societies is also out of date. There are a few mistakes in the spelling of proper names, e.g. Brulington House for Burlington House, Wil for Will, etc.; but, considering the large amount of material to be dealt with, the number of such errors is remarkably small.
