Die Chemie der Cellulose unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Textil- und Zellstoffindustrien

Abstract

THIS second volume is closely consistent with the former, reviewed in NATURE, vol. Ixxxv., p. 67, and as a completed work we must assign it a high place in technical literature, principally, however, from the point of view of the German technologist, who now finds himself for the first time in possession of a full bibliography in propria lingua of this rapidly growing subject. Of an exhaustive and most carefully edited bibliography, in which equal prominence is given to all recorded investigations, and the authors allowed to tell their own story, little more can be said to commend it to the specialist as an indispensable addition to his library equipment.

Die Chemie der Cellulose unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Textil- und Zellstoffindustrien.
