FOWNES (GEORGE), PH. D., &c. 



ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY; Theoretical and Practical. With numerous 

 illustrations. A new American, from the last and revised London edition. Edited, with Addi- 

 tions, by ROBERT BRIDGES, M. D. In one large royal 12mo. volume, of over 550 pages, with 181 

 wood-cuts, sheep, or extra cloth. (Now Heady.) 



The lamented death of the author has caused the revision of this edition to pass into the hands oi 

 ihose distinguished chemists, H. Bence Jones and A. W. Hofmann, who have fully sustained its 

 reputation by the additions which they have made, more especially in the portion devoted to Organic 

 Chemistry, considerably increasing the size of the volume. This labor has been so thoroughly 

 performed, that the American Editor has found but little to add, his notes consisting chiefly of suck 

 matters as the rapid advance of the science has rendered necessary, or of investigations which had 

 apparently been overlooked by the author's friends. 



The volume is therefore again presented as an exponent of the most advanced state of chemical 

 science, and as not unworthy a continuation of the marked favor which it has received as an ele- 

 mentary text-book. 



We know of no better text-book, especially in the 

 difficult department of organic chemistry, upon 

 which it is particularly full and satisfactory. We 

 would recommend it to preceptors as a capital 

 "office book" for their students who are beginners 

 in Chemistry. It is copiously illustrated with ex- 

 cellent wood-cuts, and altogether admirably "got 

 up." .ZV. ^ Medical Reporter, March, 1854. 



A standard manual, which has long enjoyed the 

 reputation of embodying much knowledge in a small 

 epace. The author has achieved the difficult task of 

 condensation with masterly tact. His book is con- 

 cise without being dry, and brief without being too 

 dogmatical or general. Virginia Med. and Surgical 

 Journal. 



The work of Dr. Fownes has long been before 

 the public, and its merits have been fully appreci- 

 ated as the best text-book on chemistry now in 

 existence. We do not, of course, place it in a rank 

 superior to the works of Brande, Graham, Turner, 

 Gregory, or Gmelin, but we say that, as a work 

 for students, it is preferable to any of them. Lon- 

 don Journal of Medicine. 



A work well adapted to the wants of the student. 

 It is an excellent exposition of the chief doctrines 

 and facts of modern chemistry. The size of the. work, 

 and still more the condensed yet perspicuous style 

 in which it is written, absolve it from the charges 

 very properly urged against most manuals termed 

 popular. Edinburgh Monthly Journal of Melical 

 Science.

 Professor of Chemistry in University College, London, &c. 



THE ELEMENTS OF CHEMISTRY. Including the application of the Science 



to the Arts. With numerous illustrations. With Notes and Additions, by ROBERT BRIDGES, 

 M. D., &e. &c. Second American, from the second and enlarged London edition 

 PART I. (Lately Issued) large 8vo., 430 pages, 185 illustrations. 

 PART II. (Preparing) to match. 



The great changes which the science of chemistry has undergone within the last few years, ren- 

 der a new edition of a treatise like the present, almost a new work. The author has devoted 

 several years to the revision of his treatise, and has endeavored to embody in it every fact and 

 inference of importance which has been observed and recorded by the great body of chemical 

 investigators who are so rapidly changing the face of the science. "In this manner the work has 

 been greatly increased in size, and the number of illustrations doubled ; while the labors of the editor 

 have been directed towards the introduction of such matters as have escaped the attention of the 

 author, or as have arisen since the publication of the first portion of this edition in London, in 1850. 

 Printed in handsome style, and at a very low price, it is therefore confidently presented to the pro- 

 fession and the student as a very complete and thorough text-book of this important subject.

this department of art. We have, indeed, unfeigned 

 pleasure in congratulating all concerned in this pub- 

 lication, on the result of their labours; and expe- 

 rience a feeling something like what animates a long- 

 expectant husbandman, who, oftentimes disappointed 

 by the produce of a favorite field, is at last agree- 

 ably surprised by a stately crop which may bear 

 comparison with any of its former rivals. The 

 grounds of our high appreciation of the work \vill 

 be obvious as we proceed; and we doubt not that, 

 the present facilities for obtaining American books 

 will induce many of our readers to verify our re- 

 commendation by their own perusal of it. British 

 and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review.

Dr. Gross has brought all his learning, experi- 

 ence, tact, and judgment to the task, and has pro- 

 duced a work worthy of his high reputation. We 

 feel perfectly safe in recommending it to our read- 

 ers as a monograph unequalled in interest and 

 practical value by any other on the subject in our 

 language. Western Journal of Med. and Surg. 



It hns remained for an American writer to wipe 

 away this reproach ; and so completely has the task 

 been fulfilled, that we venture to predict for Dr. 

 Gross's treatise a permanent place in the literature 

 of surgery, worthy to rank with the best works of
