Abstract
THE German edition of this work was published 1 in 1933 by G. Fischer of Jena. The author, working at the Laboratory of Clinical Medicine at the University of Jena, had by then made substantial use of modern methods of spectrophotometry for investigating body fluids, and at the outbreak of the War was still publishing valuable work in this field. His book received scant attention in British and American journals, but as the subject-matter grew in interest and significance and a knowledge of spectrophotometric technique became more widespread, the need was felt for a translation. The book was naturally somewhat out of date in 1939 and it cannot be doubted that, but for the War, Heilmeyer would have desired to revise some of the chapters rather drastically for the English edition.
