CHEMISTRY; INORGANIC AND ORGANIC. From the Second Lon- 

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

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



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 

 cj clopasdia within the limits of a convenient 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 

 scientist is not disappointed when he looks for the 



We have in this work a eompleteand most excel- 

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

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

 Journ., May 28, 1874. 



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

 conscientiously recommend to students of chemis- 

 try. It is as easy as a work on chemistry could be 

 made, at the same time that it present sa full account 



of thatscience as it now stands. We have spoken 

 of the work as admirably adapted to the wants of 

 students; it is quite as well suited to the require- 

 ments of practitioners who wish to review their 

 chemistry, or have occasion to refresh their memo- 

 ries on any point relating to it. In a word, it is a 

 book to be read by all who wish to know what is

record of new and valuable processes acd discover- 

 ies, while the cautious conservative does not find its 

 pages monopolized by uncertain theories and specu- 

 lations. A peculiar point of excellence is the crys- 

 tallized 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 yoi 

 see a text-book so nearly faultless. Cincinnati

AND QUALITATIVE INORGANIC ANALYSIS. Specially adapted for Use in the 

 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 

 12mo. volume of 372 pages : cloth, $2 50. (Noif Ready.) 



It is short, concise, and eminently practical. We 

 therefore heartily commend it to students, and espe- 

 cially to those who are obliged to dispense with a 

 master. Of course, a teacher is in every way desi- 



are so simple, and yet concise, as to be interesting 

 and intellig'ble. The work is unencumbered with 

 theoretical deductions, dealing wholly with the 

 practical matter, which it is the aim of this compre- 



hensive text-book to impart. The accuracy of the 

 analytical methods are vouched for from the fact 

 that they have all been worked through by the 



rable, but a good degree of technical skill and prac- 

 tical knowledge can be attained with no other 



instructor than the very valuable handbook now, , .,.. .,, ._
