Abstract
IN a review of the first edition of this work, published in NATURE in December 1896 (vol. 55, p. 169), it was asserted that “to write, or to compile a comprehensive text-book on petroleum, demands an acquaintance with dissimilar subjects and varying walks of life, very rarely centred in one individual. The present work is and will ever remain remarkable as the production of a man whose scientific attainments, and whose relation to the petroleum industries, were such that he, probably better than any other living man, was fitted to undertake the task.”
