Abstract

(1) “RECENT Discoveries in Inorganic Chemistry” is a summary of facts culled from the literature of inorganic chemistry during the last fifteen years or so. “The book is in no sense intended to be a text-book, but is rather to be regarded as a supplement to existing text-books.” Regarded from this point of view, the little volume fulfils its object. It will serve, at any rate, to indicate many of the more im portant subjects of recent inorganic research, although the account given of each is in general so brief that the original work and the collateral literature will have to be consulted. As the book stands, the title is rather too comprehensive. (1) Recent Discoveries in Inorganic Chemistry. By J. Hart-Smith. Pp. x + 91. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1919.) Price 4s. 6d. net.
