Abstract
OWING to various causes, the development of the paint industry in the United States has been of a very special and interesting character. On the one hand there has been a large demand for ready-mixed paints for the protection of the wooden buildings which are still so common in that country, and on the other the existence of large deposits of zinc lead ores has led to the preparation of sublimed whites, which are largely used in the making-up of ready-mixed paints. In addition, there is the tendency, which we find in all industries in America, to replace hand by machine methods, and thus develop new and modified processes. A book, therefore, on the manufacture of lead and zinc pigments, written by one so thoroughly familiar with all the processes as Dr. Holley, is of great interest to English readers. Lead and Zinc Pigments. By Dr. C. D. Holley. Pp. xix + 340. (New York: John Wiley and Sons; London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1909.) Price 12s. 6d. net.
