As the title is meant to supply, this book is not solely a dictionary of chemical terms. it includes words from related fields of science and, what is perhaps a novelty in a technical dictionary, a general vocabulary. More attention has also been paid to abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes that in the average work of its kind. For historical reasons a number of old terms are defined; where these might be confused with modern meanings they are distinguished by the label 'Old Chem' or in some other way. it should be remembered, too, that some terms which have been replaced in chemistry are stil in use in pharmacy or industry. 342 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
