Abstract

ELEVEN years ago appeared the comprehensive monograph entitled “Flame and Combustion in Gases” by Prof. W. A. Bone and D. T. A. Townend, followed a year or two later by “Gaseous Combustion at High Pressures” by Bone, Newitt and Townend. Except for a small volume on "Flame"by 0. C. de C. Ellis and W. A. Kirkby (1936), the subject has not since been treated as a whole in English, until the recent appearance of the work by Bernard Lewis and G. von Elbe now under review.
