Abstract
ONE may liken this volume to the many similar pocket-book issues extant in this country as compendious guides to the various branches of applied science. It serves a double purpose as an epitome of petroleum technology and as a standard work of reference for immediate requirements in the field, refinery, and office, and although written essentially for the use of the French industries concerned with inflammable liquids, it deserves a much wider sphere of utility. This type of publication, though frequently condemned as inimical to the best interests of scientific work and commercial production, commands a degree of popularity for which it is not, perhaps, difficult to account.
