Abstract
COMPLETENESS of the field covered, with authoritative discussion of both theoretical and practical aspects of the subject, make Mr. Jenkins' volume a book which will undoubtedly become a standard work of reference. It is particularly welcome, in that it possesses the additional merit of being written throughout in a concise and interesting manner. It is probable that in many cases the practical worker will not desire to study all the theoretical background of the technique which he is employing ; but the arrangement of the material is such that the more practical aspects can be separately considered. At the same time the theoretical side is dealt with in a manner which will be of real interest and value to the more academic reader, and the author's intention of bridging the gap between the practical and academic aspects of the subject is successfully achieved.
