Abstract
THIS interesting compilation, finely illustrated, commemorates the meeting of the Manchester Section of the Society of Chemical Industry, held in the city this year, and is very welcome. It is in no sense a guide-book, but a critical valuation of the activities—scientific, literary, educational, industrial, and general—of a centre which has long played a conspicuous part, for good and all, in the evolution of human affairs within and outside its borders. Authorities such as Sir Henry Miers, Prof. A. Lapworth, Prof. C. H. Herford, Sir Michael Sadler, Prof. F. E. Weiss, Prof. C. H. Reilly, Dr. Henry Guppy, and others recount success, failures, and future aspirations.
The Soul of Manchester.
Edited by Dr. W. H. Brindley. (Published for the Manchester Section of the Society of Chemical Industry.) Pp. xi + 280 + 16 plates. (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1929.) 6s. net.
