Abstract
THIS book follows the method now very popular in the United States for practical laboratory guides whereby the pages are loose; this, as the authors state, allows “for the interleaving of the book with drawing paper and thus the students’ drawings should make the completed book a reasonably adequate factual text-book”. The authors omit, however, to point out another important advantage of the method they have adopted, that is, the opportunity thus afforded of changing the order of things in conformity with varying laboratory routine.
