PREFACE.

Deprived of scientific contact with the world, enclosed within the frontiers of the 
country, fighting with the weapons of word and spirit, which could not be withheld, 
knowing that the incarnate evil could not be perpetuated and trusting that liberation 
from the oppression, which endeavoured, albeit in vain, to discourage the spirit and 
to prostrate the body, would come, so the Dutch people lived during the years of 
the war.Though servants fell, service continued. Scientific workers carried out 
their tasks as long and as well as possible, searching for Truth, serving Science 
and Humanity.
This book was planned on account of the difficulty of procuring, reading and 
studying papers on chemical subjects, published by our countrymen during the 
years 1940-1945. Its publication has been fraught with great difficulties and 
arising from particular, in part evil, circumstances in our country, the printing 
has been delayed.
It contains reviews of the special sections of chemical research, mentioned in the 
contents, and it is hoped that it may be a guide to facilitate orientation of the work 
done on pure and applied chemistry and the consultation of the original papers.
The "Nederlandsche Chemische Vereeniging" (1) by taking the initiative for this 
publication, hopes to contribute, in this way, towards the restoration of the 
temporarily broken contact with the research workers, their laboratories and 
societies abroad, which existed before the war.

Dec. 1946.
