Abstract
IN this second edition of a well-known work, an opportunity has been taken to make many corrections in the original text, and to add much new material to bring it up to date. The book is intended to be a handy work of reference, and it should serve this purpose excellently. The reviewer notices that the sections include atomic energy, penicillin, streptomycin and pterins, but not lithium aluminium hydride, promethium and osmium carbonyl, to take a few examples at random. This dictionary should be in all school and college libraries.
