With regards to the latter, I am indebted to Dr. Regina Schoental of the Medical Research Council for the review in this present work of carcinogenesis by polycyclic hydrocarbons. This book is designed to present the facts in a simple and clear order and to derive empirical rules from them, but it does not present a com prehensive theory about polycyclic hydrocarbons. An attempt is made instead to extend classical symbolism into modern structural chemistry. Thus extensive use is made of Robinson's aromatic sextet, which is applied in an uncompromising and strict way. This quasi-classical attempt is encouraged further by such completely unexpected dis coveries as those of Dewar benzene and of the electronic asymmetry of formally symmetric hydrocarbons. How difficult it is to break away from any established way of thinking has been admirably expressed by Kekule ("Organische Chemie", 1861, Part 1, page 4, translated from German): "All our ideas are based, to an extent much greater than we ordinarily believe, on those of our predecessors. Our accumulated experience, the notions of which our training has accustomed us to, of whatever kind they have been, influence the course of our thoughts far more than we are willing to admit; only too frequently the following of our regularly used, well trodden way of thinking leads to us overlook the simplest of correlations. " Great emphasis has been given to the comparison of the physical properties of polycyclic hydrocarbons, and in this work as in future research, I have been and shall be guided by another declaration of Kekule ("Organische Chemie", Part 1, page 158): "Of course it must be continually kept in mind that one purpose of scientific research is to ascertain the constitution of matter and therefore the positions of atoms; this, however, cannot be achieved unambiguously by studying chemical reactions but on the contrary, only by comparing the physical properties of the existing compounds." I am indebted to my colleagues Dr. T. H. Goodwin, Dr. J. C. Speakman and Dr. F. Schwarz for valuable advice and help and to Dr. A. McCallum and Mr. J. Stephen for checking the proofs. I also greatly appreciate the efforts of Academic Press to meet my wishes. E.
