Chromatographic Methods

In recent years the techniques of chromatography have progressed rapidly. However, the aims and objectives of the First Edition, as quoted below, are just as relevant today as they undoubtedly were in 1963. 'The various methods of separating mixtures which are grouped under the general name chromatography are now well known and widely used. Since the inception of chromatography as a column technique in 1903, the principal landmarks in its progress have been its virtual rediscovery in the 1930s, the invention of synthetic resins in 1935, the introduction of paper chromatography in the early 1940s and finally, the development of gas solid and gas liquid chromatography in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Subsequent expansion in the use of chromatographic methods has been rapid and continuous, with the result that in the last 15 years a substantial volume of literature on the subject has appeared, dealing not only with particular separations but also in much specific detail with improvements in technique.

Shorthand, as a means of written communication, has been with us for centuries. Such diverse men as Julius Caesar, George Bernard Shaw, and Charles Dickens all used shorthand. The plays of William Shakespeare, the words of St. Augustine, the lectures of Martin Luther, and the Gettysburg Address were all captured by an alert reporter using shorthand techniques. No form of written communication has lasted so long or has had as much impact in world history as shorthand. The need to have an indelible record of courtroom proceedings led to the creation of the court reporter. Early on the reporter had to rely on pen and ink, but today has the advantage of a vast assortment of machines. In The Record Never Forgets, Fannie H. Smith has presented an in-depth history of the development of shorthand and its eventual impact on court-reporting. With over 100 illustrations of key people, samples of shorthand technique, and the various court-reporting machines, hers is an unparalleled, exhaustive work. It is the fruit of nearly ten years of research.
