Abstract
THE important and impressive review of the rise and progress of the organic chemical industry issued by Messrs. Levinstein, Ltd., of Blackley, near Manchester, and of Ellesmere Port, which appeared as a supplement to the Manchester Guardian of June 30, marks a welcome development of industrial enterprise. Even the most indifferent and ill-informed reader cannot but be made aware, as a resuk of its perusal, of the importance of the highest facilities for scientific education and training, when in so striking a fashion he is compelled to realise the fruits of it in the enormous industrial advance of Germany in all that pertains to the organic chemical industries, whether it takes the form of artificial dyestuffs, synthetic organic products, or that of chemico-therapeutics. The advent of the war quickly laid bare our serious deficiencies, not to say our utter poverty, in all three departments of chemical manufacture.
