Chemical Synonyms and Trade Names: a Dictionary and Commercial Handbook

THE number of entries in this dictionary is now between 16,000 and 17,000, several thousands being new to the second edition. The added material has, for an obvious reason, been placed at the end of the book with a separate pagination, but owners of the first edition may purchase it in the form of a companion volume. From the outset it was clear that this publication would meet a want, and we know of no book which covers the same ground so usefully and, withal, so accurately. Not only will it appeal to those who traffic in chemicals and their raw materials, but the general reader will also find in it much to interest him, e.g. the composition of many commodities that he uses in daily life: the ingredients of soaps, water-softeners, perfumes, dyes, drugs, disinfectants, and so forth.Chemical Synonyms and Trade Names: a Dictionary and Commercial Handbook.By William Gardner.
