Excerpt from The Chemical News and Journal of Physical Science, Vol. 108: A Journal of Practical Chemistry in All Its Application to Pharmacy, Arts, and Manufactures
"It is, without doubt, the finest example of a General Index which has been published in connection with chemistry." - Chemist and Druggist, May 3, 1913.
"It is an excellent compilation, and sure to be of great service to chemical readers generally." - Pharmaceutical Journal, May 10, 1913.
"The Chemical News is to be congratulated on having had the courage to undertake and the perseverance to carry out a work of this description. The task has been carried out in a thoroughly workmanlike spirit, and as it contains a key to the history of every development in chemistry during the fifty years covered it should prove extremely useful to everyone interested in science." - Journal of the Royal Society of Arts, May 23, 1912.
"In indexing articles, the spelling and nomenclature originally adopted by the authors has been adhered to... So far as has been noticed, this is the one blot on an excellently planned and finely executed work of a monumental character." - Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, June, 1913.
"The Index under review is one that will be necessary to every reader of the Chemical News, and, indeed, will be useful to all chemists, giving, as it does, references to so many subjects, such as university intelligence, &c., which are found in perhaps no other chemical journal." - Nature, June 19, 1913.
"A great service has been now performed for the active chemist in making this mass of material easily accessible through a general index... It is evident that no pains have been spared to make this work as complete and accurate as possible... All those interested, particularly in chemistry and chemical industry, will be grateful to the management of the Chemical News for bringing to completion this great work." - American Journal of Science, July, 1913.
"The Index seems very complete, and forms an interesting survey of ha period covered by it. It should be of great value to chemists who possess tiles of the Chemical Next." - Journal of the Franklin Institute, July, 1913.
"It is not merely a compilation of all the volume indexes, but is much more elaborate. Every possessor of a set of the Chemical News, whether complete or partial, will do well to add this most valuable volume to his library." - Journal of the American Chemical Society, August, 1913.
"Although the Index contains two thousand one hundred and thirty-six columns, the book is of a convenient size, and is only an such and five-eighths thick. All chemists should show their appreciation of the enterprise of tho Chemical News by adding this valuable Index to their library." - Knowledge, November, 1913.
"This Index covers all material in the issues of the Chemical News for the fir.st fifty years, and should be of inestimable value to every working chemist, whether a subscriber to the Chemical News or not." - Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, November, 1913.
"The value of the Index is obvious Considerable pains have been taken to render it a trustworthy source of reference, and the plan has been adopted of including in it both subjects and authors. This has rendered it a somewhat large volume, but the method facilitates reference, for it sometimes happens that the name of the author escapes memory, or the subject connected with his name may be forgotten. Since the references go back so far, the Index enables the reader to trace the development in many cases of industrial science, analytical processes, and so forth." - The Lancet, November 22, 1913.
