Abstract
MR. SINNATT and his collaborators have prepared a compendium of the first ten bulletins issued by the Lancashire and Cheshire Coal Research Association, and the intention of the publication is “to enable those engaged in the Coal Industry and others to share the knowledge gained in carrying out the work.” The bulletins have been well worth collecting and issuing together in this form, which will facilitate ready reference. They vary in content from such a general subject as “Notes of Ten Introductory Lectures on Organic Chemistry, with Special Reference to Coal” (condensed into 32 pages) to the highly specialised brief bulletin on “Hoo Cannel.” One of the most interesting describes the examination of the inorganic constituents of coal which deals with those ash inclusions known as ankerites, while “Coal Dust and Fusain “indicates another line of work with which Mr. Sinnatt has identified himself. No very fundamental problems of fuel technology have been attacked, and some of the matter is not original, being simply collected in the bulletins for the convenience of the Research Association, but it is a record of useful work.
