"Mr. Parry has done good service in carefully collecting and marshalling the results of the numerous researches published in various parts of the world."--_Pharmaceutical Journal._ "At various times monographs have been printed by individual workers, but it may safely be said that Mr. Parry is the first in these latter days to deal with the subject in an adequate manner. His book is well conceived and well written.... He is known to have sound practical experience in analytical methods, and he has apparently taken pains to make himself _au fait_ with the commercial aspects of the subject."--_Chemist and Druggist._ "Mr. Parry's reputation as a scientist is fully established, and we can therefore accept any work emanating from his pen as being of the greatest practical value. We have perused the work before us with much care, and are convinced that the contents will be found most serviceable and its publication most opportune.... He avoids unnecessary details, but includes everything that is essential to systematic treatment, while he attempts no more 'than to give an outline of the principles involved'.... We congratulate Mr. Parry on the scientific value of his work, and hope that if the progress of the colonies in the manufacture of essential oils and perfumes equals what we are justified in expecting, it will become an Australian handbook, everywhere appreciated."--_The Australian Brewers' Journal._ * * * * * =DRYING OILS, BOILED OIL AND SOLID AND LIQUID DRIERS.= By L.E.
