Abstract
THE rapidity with which advances are made in our knowledge of biochemistry and the fields of study with which it shares common ground makes the frequent revision of text-books dealing with these subjects a real necessity. It is ten years since the publication of the eleventh edition of Hawk‘s "Practical Physiological Chemistry", so that the appearance of a new edition is both timely and welcome. In the forty years since its first publication, this text-book has achieved a position which is probably unique. It is of value to teachers, research workers and routine analysts alike, the treatment of most aspects of the subject being both theoretical and practical and the scope of the experimental sections the widest possible.
