Abstract
ALTHOUGH we hear much of synthetic resins nowadays, the natural resins lose none of their importance in the industrial arts, and it is useful to have a comprehensive work on the subject by an author of such repute in the varnish industry. To some extent it is a development of a previous book, covering also the synthetic resins, by Barry, Morrell and Drummond, and the experience then gained has been used in bringing the present work thoroughly up to date. It is divided into two parts, the first, covering some forty pages, dealing with such general questions as the physical properties, solubility, constituents and chemical examination of resins. In the second part the individual resins are described at length.
