Abstract
THE authors give a reasoned and critical account of the various processes used in the low-temperature distillation of coal. The problem is one of very great importance, and although authorities differ in their estimates of the usefulness and economics of the method, it is certain to attract an increasing share of attention. The present volume may be welcomed as a useful contribution to the literature of the subject. It is well illustrated.
