Abstract
THE title of this book immediately carries the mind to varnish-making, a subject with its own small and select but most engaging literature for anyone who is willing to venture a little. Dr. Chatfield's book takes its place, as it were, at the end of the row; but how different it is from some of its predecessors. Naturally his book has been produced to the authorized war economy standard, but even without that measure of austerity, the book would still carry the air of battle-dress—business-like and efficient, everything set out in order, plenty of detail arranged in tabular form, a contents page (nine pages, in fact) minutely analysed, and a substantial index.
