Abstract
THE late Dr. Julius Schmidt's “Kurzes Lehrbuch der organischen Chemie” had established a considerable reputation as a text-book for students of advanced organic chemistry before Dr. H. Gordon Rule translated it into English in 1926. In this edition Dr. Rule acted as editor as well as translator, and in the later English editions of 1932 and 1936 his editorial role became more and more pronounced. He spared no pains to keep the work up to date, to preserve a proper balance between various sections of the subject, and to do justice to the work of British and American organic chemists.
