Beschreibungen/Notizen

• THAT a second edition of this book has been found necessary in such a short time proves that it has fulfilled a definite purpose. There are not many authoritative books on canning-a section of the food industry which, although not new (for certain of Napoleon's armies were supplied with canned foods), has nevertheless only developed to its present huge proportions during the last forty years or so-and therefore a compilation by the two authors, both of whom have had considerable (practical and theoretical) experience, was received with pleasure by those interested in the application of science to the industry. There are many new features in the second edition, but one might have expected that certain aspects of the first edition would have been altered-as they could have been with profit to the book. The difficulty, as the reviewer sees it, was to do justice in some three hundred pages to the whole of the ground which the authors attempted to cover; a difficulty which has been experienced by many authors seeking to stress the scientific aspect of an industry whilst endeavouring to convey to the reader an appreciation of the 'practice' of the industry.
