The Book of the Dairy : A manual of the science and practice of dairy 

 work, W. Fleischmaxx, translated by C. M. Aikmax and R. P. Wright (London: 

 Blachie 4' iSon, 1896, pp. XXIF, 344, pis. 6, figs. 85). — This is, for the most i)art, a quite 

 literal translation of Prof. Fleischmann's Lehrhuch der Milchwirthschaff, published 

 in 1893, with a short introduction by the translators, and occasional additions. The 

 text of the German edition has for the most part been closely adhered to, even to 

 the minute details so characteristic of the original. The apparently conscientious 

 effort to reproduce in English as nearly as possible the exact language of the German 

 author has resulted in many involved statements, which often do not convey exactly 

 the author's meaning, and are not easy to read or understand. At times the transla- 

 tion verges on the ludicrous, as in the chapter heading where "extraction" of milk is 

 used to mean milking, and also in the heading '-Preparation of keeping milk," mean- 

 ing milk which has been pasteurized, sterilized, condensed, etc., called Danermilch in 

 the original. 



The part of the translation relating to methods of analysis frequently suggests a 

 lack of familiarity with the subject, and the directions given, though sulHciently 

 detailed, would not be intelligible to one nnfamiliar with the methods. For instance, 

 in determining milk sugar gravimetrically, after the treatment with Fehling's solu- 

 tion, the following directions are given for preparing the filter tube and (ilteriug tlie 

 reduced copper: "A small, straight, calcium chlorid tnl)e, whose bulb is \\a\i protected 

 [tilled] by oblicjue and not too soft asbestus filaments, is washed, then dried. . . . 

 Filtration is then carried on by pouring through an attached glass funnel in the pres- 

 ence of a weak diluted atmosphere [meaning with the aid of a filter pump]. . . . 

 Thereafter the filter tube is removed, stretched, and, after the ether has been for the 

 most part expelled by air, bent on a holder downwards," etc. (The italics are ours.)
