Abstract
COMMENCED in 1909 as an annual supplement to existing handbooks, in course of time this work has become in itself a comprehensive encyclopædia, or, actually, more than an ordinary encyclopædia, because new volumes are continually being added to keep the information up to date. The work constitutes a classified repertory containing references to the whole of the numerical values of physical and chemical constants, since determined, in the course of scientific investigations all over the world, with critical observations.
