VI be improved if more time had been available. If the book on lead
were to be rewritten thermochemists, electrochemists and
theoreticians on elasticity would be required, besides
technologists, to support the work of the metallurgist. In recent
years the pace of research and development has increased
enormously, resulting in the evolution of completely new
technologies. In spite of the demand thereby created for new and
exotic mate- rials with special properties, industry will continue
to depend in large measure on classical materials and conventional
processes. The older metals, including lead, will therefore always
maintain their importance alongside the new materials, even in a
world of rapidly changing technologies. Brunswick (Braunschweig),

WILHELM HOFMANN, who died suddenlyon 16th November, 1965, had
already completed the manuscript of the English edition before his
death, together with the main Foreword repro- duced here. I have
made every attempt to ensure that publication should be carried out
as Prof. HOFMANN would himself have wished. This has been done with
the cooperation of Frau Dr. MARGARETE BLUTH and the support of Frau
AURELIE HOFMANN. Brunswick (Braunschweig), July 1969 Gerwig Vibrans
