Abstract
THE national importance of the chemical industry, and of those allied industries which depend upon chemical science, is reflected to-day in the pronouncements of Ministers and the figures of trade. Chemical technology becomes increasingly scientific, and chemistry constantly makes available new knowledge of materials and reactions. It is essential that this new knowledge should be assembled in a convenient form. Moreover, in these days when we are in danger of being overwhelmed by a mere mass of information, it is most valuable to have it filtered and screened by experts.
