CHEMISTRY, INORGANIC AND ORGANIC. From the Second Lon- 

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

 tions. Cloth, $4 00 ; leather, $5 00. (Lately Issued.) 



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

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

 may use with advantage in pursuing his chemical stud s 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 in this work a complete aud most excel- experiment have been worked up with especial care, 

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

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

 Journ., May 28, 1874. 



Of all the numerous works upon elementary chem- 

 istry that have been published within the last few 

 years, we can point to none that, in fulness, accuracy, 

 and simplicity, can surpass this; while, in the num- 

 ber and detailed descriptions of experiments, as also 

 in the profuseness of its illustrations, we believe it 

 stands above any similar work publ ished in this coun- 

 try The statements made are clear and con- 

 cise, and every step proved by an abundance of ex- 

 periments, which excite our admiration as much by 

 their simplicity as by their direct conclusiveness. 

 Chicago Med. Examiner, Nov. 15, 1873. 



It is seldom that in the same compass so complete 

 and interesting a compendium of the leading facts of 

 chemistry is offered. Druggists' 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 time that it presents a full account of that 

 Rcience as it now stands. We have spoken of the 

 workasadmirably adapted to the wants of students ; 

 it is quite 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, it is a book to be read by all 

 who wish to know what is the chemistry of the pre- 

 sent day. American Practitioner, Nov. 1873. 



Among the various works upon general chemistry 

 issued, we know of none that will supply the average 

 wants of the student or teacher better than this. 

 Indiana, Jour n. of Med., Nov. 1873. 



We cordially welcome this American reprint of a 

 work which has already won for itself so substantial 

 a reputation in England. Professor Bloxam has con- 

 densed into a wonderfully small com >ass all the im- 

 portant principles and facts of chemical science. 

 Thoroughly imbued with an enthusiastic love for the 

 science he expounds, he has stripped it of ail need- 

 less technicalities, and rounded out its hard outlines 

 by a fulness of illustration that cannot fail to attract 

 and delight the student. The details of illustrative 



and many of the experiments described ai-e both nex 

 aud striking. Detroit Rev. of Med. and Pharm., 

 Nov. 1873. 



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

 lished. Chicago Med. Journ., Nov. 1873. 



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

 ginner and the advanced student of chemistry. Am. 

 Journ. of Pharm., Nov. 1873. 



Probably the most valuable, and at the same time 

 practical, text-book on general chemistry extant in 

 our language. Kansas City Med. Journ., Dec. 1873. 



Prof. Bloxam possesses pre-eminently the inestima- 

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

 books, for he is capable of making very plain what 

 other authors frequently have left very obscure. 

 Va. Clinical Record, Nov. 1873. 



It would be difficult for a practical chemist and 

 teacher to find any material fault with this most ad- 

 mirable treatise. The author has given us almost a 

 cyclopedia within the limits of aconvenient volume, 

 and has done so without penning the useless para- 

 graphs too commonly making up a great part of the 

 bulk of many cumbrous works. The progressive sci- 

 entist is not disappointed when he looks for the record 

 of new and valuable processes and discoveries, while 

 the cautious conservative does not find its pages mo- 

 nopolized by uncertain theories and speculations. A 

 peculiar point of excellence is the crystallized form of 

 expression in which great truths are expressed in 

 very short paragraphs. One is surprised at the brief 

 space allotted to an important topic, and yet, after 

 reading it, he feels that little, if any more, should 

 have been said. Altogether, it is seldom you see a 

 text-book so nearly faultless. Cincinnati Lancet, 

 Nov. 1873. 



Professor Bloxam has given us a most excellent 

 and useful practical treatise. His 666 pages are 

 crowded with facts and experiments, nearly all well 

 chosen, ajid many quite new, even to scientific men. 

 . . . It is astonishing how much information he often 

 conveys in a few paragraphs. We might quote fifty 

 instances of this. Chemical News.

OUTLINES OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. Translated with Ad- 

 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 most 

 advanced condition of the science.
