Abstract
DR. PATTERSON has filled what has long been an irritating lacuna in the average chemist's library. Certain scientific and technical terms are by no means easy to translate from the German, and recourse to the dictionary usually available is generally hopeless. The book under review should therefore be eagerly welcomed by the steadily increasing number of young chemists in England and America and by those who, even if they have already a good working knowledge of the language, are occasionally at fault. Not only is it a good general dictionary of the German language, but it contains also a very complete collection of chemical terms belonging both to the pure science and to technology.
