Abstract
IN view of the fact that there are no appreciable sources of natural petroleum in Great Britain, and that the country is therefore dependent on overseas supplies for all its rapidly growing requirements, the importance of studying methods whereby substitutes could be provided by treatment of raw material indigenous to Britain cannot be overstated. The technical problems involved are being studied both at home and abroad by many competent workers, more especially in those countries which do not produce natural liquid fuel. Inquiry is also stimulated, even in those more fortunately situated, by the rapidly increasing demands for oil for all purposes. The Conversion of Coal into Oils. Dr. Franz Fischer. Authorised English translation, edited with a Foreword and Notes, by Dr. R. Lessing. Pp. 284. (London: Ernest Benn, Ltd., 1925.) 36s. net.
