Excerpt from A Dictionary of Applied Chemistry, Vol. 1 It has become a truism to say that Applied Chemistry has exercised a profound influence on the character and direction of the war. It is equally true that the war has exercised a great influence on Applied Chemistry. It has led to an enormous expansion, more or less permanent, of certain branches, both in this country and abroad. New products have been made, -new processes have been devised, and established methods have been improved and extended. In spite of the economic and other evils which have followed in its train, there can be no doubt that the war will be found to have permanently affected for good the progress of manufacturing chemistry in this country, and indeed in all English speaking countries. Whilst the disturbance and strain of the past half-dozen years have seriously affected the development of pure science and the output of chemical research, Applied Chemistry has been quickened in certain directions. The financial and industrial collapse which has overthrown our late enemies will it may be presumed, tend still further to accelerate the expansion of our own chemical manufactures. Germany, for the present at all events, no longer holds the supreme position in certain branches in chemical industry that she enjoyed prior to 1914, and it may be doubted whether, under her altered social and economic conditions, she will ever recover it. It is too soon to be in a position to chronicle all the results, as regards chemical manufacture, which have arisen from the intensive application of chemists during the past strenuous years. Much is of a character that in the present disturbed state of the world it would be inexpedient to make public. On certain matters.

It is, however, sometimes employed in the form of ointment as a dressing for indo lent ulcers. At present its chief use is in the preparation of printing inks, and occasionally as an ingredient in varnishes.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
