Abstract
THE thirteenth issue of this important annual review of applied chemistry is no less welcome than its predecessors; it conforms to the high standard which one is accustomed to expect as regards both quality of material and extent of the ground surveyed. The present volume, like that for 1926, contains a chapter dealing with explosives (J. Weir), the survey in this case covering the two-year period. The sections concerned with general matters, plant, and machinery (A. J. V. Underwood); mineral oils (A. E. Dunstan); colouring matters and dyes (C. Rollins); soils and fertilisers (E. M. Crowther); sugars, starches, and gums (L. Eynon and J. H. Lane); the fermentation industries (H. Lloyd Hind and F. E. Day); and foods (F. S. Aumonier and J. King) have again been entrusted to those who contributed similar chapters last year, whilst the other reports are: fuel (H. J. Hodsman); gas, carbonisation, tar and tar products (H. Hollings); fibres, textiles, cellulose, and paper (J. C. Withers); bleaching, dyeing, printing, and finishing (L. O. Lawrie); acids, alkalis, salts, etc. (C. J. P. Bateson, H. M. Broadhurst, A. Lamble, and A. Williams); glass (H. W. Howes); refractories, ceramics, and cements (W. J. Rees); iron and steel (W. H. Hatfield); non-ferrous metals (A. R. Powell); electrochemical and electrometallurgical industries (H. T. S. Britton); oils, fats, and waxes (T. P. Hilditch); paints, pigments, varnishes, and resins (C. A. Klein, T. H. Barry, R. P. L. Britton, R. O. Daniels, and W. E. Wornum); india-rubber (D. F. Twiss); leather and glue (F. C. Thompson); sanitation and water purification (J. Haworth); fine chemicals, medicinal substances, and essential oils (W. H. Linnell); and photographic materials and processes (E. P. Wightman).
