“thorpe's dictionary of applied chemistry”

ABSTRACT FIVE volumes of the current edition of “Thorpe's Dictionary of Applied Chemistry” were published under the editorship of Sir Jocelyn Thorpe and Dr. Martha A. Whiteley. With the

death of Sir Jocelyn Thorpe new editorial arrangements have been necessary, and in order to maintain a balance between the various branches of chemical science, an editorial board has been

formed, comprising Prof. I. M. Heil-bron (professor of organic chemistry and director of the Laboratories for Organic Chemistry at the Imperial College) (chairman), Prof. H. J. Emeleus

(assistant professor and reader in inorganic chemistry at the Imperial College), Prof. H. W. Melville (professor of chemistry in the University of Aberdeen), and Prof. A. R. Todd (Sir Samuel

Hall professor of chemistry and director of the Chemical Laboratories in the University of Manchester). This Board will determine the general editorial policy in conjunction with the

publishers. Dr. Whiteley continues as editor, and Dr. A. J. E. Welch (assistant lecturer in inorganic chemistry at the Imperial College) becomes assistant editor ; thus the association with

the Imperial College is being maintained. Vol. 6 of the current edition is in the press, and it is proposed to complete the edition with eight further volumes, published at yearly intervals.

Although the Board does not consider that any major modification of the general character of the work is required, certain changes in the scope of the articles, particularly with regard to

physical chemistry topics, are to be made. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
