Abstract
TWO factors combine to make the task of reviewing these volumes an easy one. In the first place they represent the fourth edition of a work which may now fitly be regarded as a classic of the paper and allied industries; secondly, until recently the author directed the activities of the laboratories of H.M. Stationery Office. Both of these considerations are in evidence in the contents of the book. The treatment of the subject combines, in fact, that authority which is born of many years of experience, and that absence of errors and minor defects which is so seldom attained before a work has passed through its early editions.
