These annals form one of the most esteemed scientific journals in 

 Europe. Established in 1789, hy the founders of modern chemis- 

 try, they have been very regularly published ever since, and form at 

 present one of the richest collections, for the number and import- 

 ance of the facts which they contain. The editor, M. Klostermann, 

 not being able to continue the publication, in consequence of the 

 embarrassed state of his finances, the contributors have put it into 

 the hands of M. Crochard, bookseller, Rue de l'Ecole-de-Medecine, 

 No. 3, Paris, who is authorised to receive new subscriptions, and 

 to furnish the subscribers with the regular series of the Annales as 

 they appear.
