Abstract
THIS is an excellent little practical manual dealing with a subject of great scientific and industrial importance—a subject the scientific side of which has been somewhat neglected in this country, to the inevitable detriment of the industrial side. The decline of this industry in England is a tempting subject to expatiate on; but the moral has of late been pointed with such laudable iteration that we refrain from pointing it afresh. The state of affairs which prevails with regard to the literature of the subject is expressed in the opening words of the editor's preface:—
The Chemistry of the Coal-Tar Colours.
Translated from the German of Dr. R. Benedikt., and Edited, with Additions, by E. Knecht, Ph.D. (London: George Bell and Sons, 1886.)
