Abstract
ALTHOUGH it is without doubt desirable to have a professional glass-blower attached to a physical or chemical laboratory, a knowledge of simple glass-blowing is essential to students generally. While Mr. Bolas carries the subject rather further than the simple repair of apparatus, for he describes also the construction of glass laboratory ware, he gives clear and concise instructions for the manipulation of glass which should prove of considerable service to laboratory workers. Most of the operations are illustrated by clear line drawings of the various stages through which the material passes before it assumes its final form.
