'Mr. CROOKES's book may be best compared with the earlier work of Shützenberger, which, however, it surpasses in the special attention paid to dyeing properly so-called. As regards completeness, execution, and the patterns, dyed and printed, it may rank REIMANN'S II among the best works ever produced in this department. We cannot, therefore, omit calling to it the attention of such of our readers as are conversant with the English language, and shall be happy to assist them in procuring copies.' Journal of the Useful Arts, No. 43. On the MANUFACTURE of BEET-ROOT SUGAR in ENGLAND and IRELAND. In crown 8vo. with 11 Wood Engravings, price 8s. 6d. 'Mr. CROOKES's book gives us a complete history of the sugar-beet, its varieties, composition, and culture, and includes an elaborate account of the manufacture of beetroot sugar and spirit. The last chapters relate to the accessory subject of the production of potassium salts from beets, and to the excise regulations. Considering the growing extent and the improvements continually introduced, this work may be regarded as satisfactorily representing the present position of the industry of which it treats. It is essentially a manufacturer's manual.' MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL REVIEW III SELECT METHODS in CHEMICAL ANALYSIS, chiefly INORGANIC. In crown 8vo. with 22 Woodcuts, price 12s. 6d.
