Abstract
ANY means of simplifying the essential and ever-recurrent-business of “finding it in the literature ” is certain to receive a warm welcome from chemists, more particularly if the simplification is accompanied by assistance in ensuring the exhaustiveness of the process. Useful introductory monographs on such lines have, of course, been published—those, for example, by Dr. F. A. Mason, and by Marion E. Sparks—but it has been left to the present and a former editor of the American abstract journal Chemical Abstracts to discuss and analyse the sources of chemical information in a really detailed manner.
