Abstract
To the several books and various other publications that deal specifically with the topography of the literature of chemistry is now added one which, in addition to supplying the usual kind of information and advice in the manipulation of such tools as are available-extremely valuable as both are-goes a step further, and drives its lessons home by providing material for practice in the specialised technique which is described. Already, of course, chemical literature has reached such vast proportions (having grown at a rate not altogether indicative of real chemical progress) that we feel a lurking sympathy for the business man who had to give up business in order to attend to his card index. Moreover, the areas of intersection of chemical and other scientific spheres have tended to enlarge and become indistinctly defined.
