Abstract
THE monthly periodical Fuel in Science and Practice has completed eighteen volumes since it was launched as a supplement to the well-known mining journal Colliery Guardian. It was established on the initiative of the Coal Research Club in order to provide a medium of communication for those interested in the scientific study of fuel, and coal in particular. It was the first journal of its kind in the English language and has proved very successful, the success being doubtless due in a large measure to the efforts of its first editor, the late Prof. R. V. Wheeler. The first number of the nineteenth volume has now appeared under the editorship of Dr. R. Lessing, who has been associated with the venture since its inception. This, it may be taken, will ensure continuity of policy. It will continue to aim at providing a clearing-house for the results of investigations and a bridge between the science and practice of fuel technology.
