Abstract
POLAROGRAPHIC methods continue to attract attention in Great Britain. Much knowledge has already been obtained and a concise summary of this, written in a simple objective manner, is to be found in a pamphlet, “Cambridge Polarograph”, recently published by the Cambridge Instrument Company. For its size this pamphlet covers a great deal of ground and, if the theoretical background of polarography is largely omitted, this is compensated for by the presence of a considerable bibliography which contains references to most of the important papers on the subject. The difficulties of the polaro-graphic method are not unduly emphasized; nevertheless, most of the major pitfalls are mentioned and it is frequently made clear that modifications of technique must be very critically tested. Use of the polarograph for the performance of amperometric titrations has not been overlooked.
