CHEMISTRY, INORGANIC AND ORGANIC. From the Second Lou- 



don Edition. In one very handsome octavo volume, of 700 pages, with about 300 illustra- 

 tions. Cloth, $4 00 ; leather, $5 00. 



It has been the author's endeavor to produce a Treatise on Chemistry sufficiently compreln -\\ - 

 sive for those studying the science as a branch of general education, and one which a student 

 may use with advantage in pursuing his chemical studies at one of the colleges or medical schools. 

 The special attention devoted to Metallurgy and some other branches of Applied Chemistry renders 

 the work especially useful to those who are being educated for employment in manufacture. 



We have iu this work a complete and most excel- 

 lent text-book for the use of schools, and can heart- 

 ily recommend it as such. Boston Med. and Surg. 

 Jniirn., May 28, 1874. 



It is seldom that iu the same compass so complete 

 and interesting a compendium of the leading facts of 

 chemistry is offered. Druggist*' Circular, Nov. '73 



The above is the title of a work which we can most 

 conscientiously recommend to students of chemistry. 

 It is as easy as a work on chemistry could be made, 

 at the same lime that it presents a full account of that 

 science as it now stands. We have spoken of the 

 work asadmirably adapted to the wants of students ; 

 it is .[nite as well suited to the requirements of prac- 

 titioners who wish to review their chemistry, or have 



occasion to refresh their memories on any point re- 

 lating to it. In a word, il is a book to be re;id 1 v ;i 11 

 who wish to know what is the r he mist ry of t lie pre- 

 sent day. American Pr<irtitiiuter Nov. 1873. 



One of the best text-books of chemistry yet pub- 

 lished. Chicago Med Jnurn., Nov. 1ST: . 



This is an excellent work, well adapted for the be- 

 ginner and the advanced student of chemistry. Am, 

 Jiinrn. of Pharin , Nov. 1873. 



Prof. Bloxam possesses pre-eminently the i nest ima - 

 hie gift of perspicuity. It is a pleasure to read his 

 K>oks, for he is capable of making very plain what 

 other authors frequently have left very obscure.

AN ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON PRACTIC A L CHEMISTRY 



AND QUALITATIVE INORGANIC ANALYSIS. Specially adapted for Use in tbe 

 Laboratories of Schools and Colleges and by Beginners. From the Second and Revised 

 English Edition, with about fifty illustrations on wood. In one very handsome royal 

 12mo. volume of 376 pages : cloth, $2 50. (Just Ready.} 



"It has been my aim throughout to give all necessary directions so fully and simply as to 

 reduce to a minimum the amount of assistance required from a teacher. The language employed 

 has been rendered simnle and intelligible by avoiding the unnecessary use of scientific terms 

 and by explaining or paraphrasing in ordinary vords any such terms when introduced for the 

 first time. The directions how to work and the description of the preparation and use of appa- 

 ratus have been given more fully than is usual. . . . The introduction as appendices into this 

 edition of the reactions and methods of detection of the rarer elements and of the use of tbe 

 spectroscope with a spectrum chart, will, it is believed, render the book more useful to advanced 

 students." Preface. 



The arrangement in tabular form of all special analytical processes has enabled the author to 

 compress a very la r ge amount of instruction within reasonable compass, and in a form exceed- 

 ingly clear and intelligible, rendering the volume one especially suited for practical work in the 

 laboratory, or for the guidance of students deprived of the assistance of a teacher.

This volume is devottd to the principles upon which 

 the theoretical structure of modern Miemi-try is bM^d. 

 and a su^li it is a very valuable addition to our litera- 

 ture, insomuch as it diseu-ses. in. a c'ear and com- n- 

 hengive manner, the various laws >verninjr chcmic<l

 be a valunble a'd to the ch'-mical student who would 

 familiarize himself with the theories of the science that, 

 have led to m-ny important discoveries. Am.Jom-ii.

OUTLINES OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. Transl.-ite<l with A.l- 



ditions from the Eighth German Edition. By IRA REMSEN, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of 

 Chemistry and Physics in Williams College, Mass. In one handsome volume, royal 12mo. 

 of 550 pp., cloth, $3. 



As the numerous editions of the original attest, this work is the leading text-book and standard 

 authority throughout Germany on its important and intricate subject a position won for it by 

 the clearness and conciseness which are its distinguishing characteristics. The translation has 

 been executed with the approbation of Profs. Wohler and Fittig, and numerous additions and 

 alterations have been introduced, so as to render it in every respect on a level with the n:..-t 

 advanced condition of the science.
