O THE AMERICAN SCIENCE SERIES. 



CHEMISTRY. By IRA REMSEN, Professor in the Johns Hop- 

 kins University. 

 Briefer Course. I2mo. Pp. 387. $1.40. 



An introduction to the study of chemistry, following the 

 inductive method. To avoid overburdening the student's mind, 

 the author has presented a smaller number of facts than is 

 usual in elementary courses in chemistry, but he has at the same 

 time taken pains to select for treatment such substances and 

 such phenomena as seem best suited to give an insight into the 

 nature of chemical action. In other words, he has aimed to 

 make the book scientific, to lay stress upon the relations which 

 exist between the phenomena considered, and not to present 

 merely a mass of apparently disconnected facts. Another 

 feature of the work is that principles and laws are treated be- 

 fore the theories which are proposed to account for them.
