"This volume is the latest addition to the excellent series of special technical works for manufacturers and professional and commercial men issued by the well-known publishers of _The Oil and Colourman's Journal_. The volume in every way fully maintains the high standard of excellence of the whole series, and deals with the subject of glue making and glue testing in a thoroughly exhaustive manner. Chapters are given on the constitution and properties, and raw material and manufacture, and of the uses of glue, and in this latter respect it will doubtless be information to many readers to learn to what extent glue enters into the manufacture of many commercial products not apparently associated with glue. Exhaustive chapters on the processes and methods of glue testing, and on its commercial aspects, complete this useful and most carefully prepared volume."--_Carriage Builders' Journal._ * * * * * =TECHNOLOGY OF PETROLEUM=: Oil Fields of the World--Their History, Geography and Geology--Annual Production and Development--Oil-well Drilling--Transport.
