KEW AND IMPROVED EDITION (lately Issued.) 



ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY, 



THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL. 



BY GEORGE FOWNES, PH. D., 



Chemical Lecturer in the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, &c. &c. 



WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS. 

 THIRD AMERICAN, FROM A LATE LONDON EDITION. EDITED, WITH ADDITIONS, 



BY EGBERT BRIDGES, M. D., 



Professor of General and Pharmaceutical Chemistry in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, &c. &c. 

 In one large royal 12mo. vol., of over 500 pages, with about 180 wood-cuts, sheep or extra cloth. 



At the time of his death, Professor Fownes had just completed the revision of this work for his 

 third edition, and, at his request, Dr. H. Bence Jones undertook the office of seeing it through the 

 press, and making such additions in the department of Animal Chemistry as were rendered neces- 

 sary by the numerous discoveries daily making in that branch of the science. The task of the 

 American editor, therefore, has merely been to add such new matter as may since have appeared, 

 and to adapt the whole to the wants of the American student, by appending in the form of notes 

 such points of interest as would be calculated to retain the position which the original has so justly 

 obtained, and to maintain it on.;an equality with the rapid advance of chemical science. It will, 

 therefore, be found considerably enlarged and greatly improved. Notwithstanding its increase in 

 size, it has been kept at its former extremely low price, a*d may now be considered as one of the 



CHEAPEST TEXT-BOOKS ON CHEMISTRY NOW EXTANT, 



The work of Dr. Fownes has long been before the public, and its merits have been fully appreciated as 

 the ht-st text-book on Chemistry now in existence. We do not, of course, place it in a rank superior to the 

 works of Erande, Graham. Turner, Gregory, or Gmelin, but we say that, as a work for students, it is prefer- 

 able lo any of them. London Jmirnal of Medicine. 



The rapid sale of this Manual evinces us adaptation to the wants of the student of chemistry, whilst the 

 well known merits of its lamented author have constituted a guarantee for its value, as a faithful exposition 

 of the general principles and most important facts of the science to which it professes to be aa introduction. 



We have only to add, that Dr. Bunce Jones appears to have performed his editorial ta>-k most thoroughly, 

 the want of the author's final supervision being nowhere discoverable. The British and Foreign Medico- 

 Chirurti'ical Review. 



A work well adapted to the wants of the student. It is an excellent exposition of the chief doctrines and 

 facts of modern chemistry, originally intended as a guide to the lectures of the author, corrected by his own 

 hand shortly before his death in Ifc49 and recently revised by Dr. Bence Jones, who has made some additions 

 to the chapter on animal chemistry. Although not intended to supersede the more extended treatises on 

 chemistry, Professor Fownes' Manual may, we think, be often used as a work of reference, even by those 

 advanced in the study, who may be desirous of refreshing their memory on some forgotten point. 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, viz., of omitting details of indispensable 

 importance, of avoiding technical difficulties, instead of explaining them, and of treating subjects of high sci- 

 entific interest in an unscientific way. Edinburgh Monthly Journal of Medical Science. 



BOWMAN'S MEDICAL CHEMISTRY- (Lately Issued.) 



PRACTICAL HANDBOOK OF MEDICAL CHEMISTRY. 



BY JOHN E. BOWMAN, M. D. 



In one neat volume, royal 12mo., with numerous illustrations. 



We cannot too highly commend the very elaborate, yet clear and distinct manner, in which the appear- 

 ances of these fluids, and their variations 111 disease, are described. To the practitioner, the book is specially 

 recommended, as giving a very clear account of many chemical matters, which must be ever coming before 

 him in his daily practice. Every practitioner, and every student of clinical medicine, should endeavor to 

 enrich his collection of books with Mr. Bowman's little volume. London Journal of Mtdicine. 



Mr. Bowman has succeeded in supplying a desideratum in medical literature. In the little volume before 

 us, he has given a concise but comprehensive account of all matters in chemistry which the man in practice 

 may desire to know. Lancet.
