" No English text-book at all approaches this one either in its method of 

 treatment, its general arrangement, or in the COMPLETENESS with which the most 

 modern views on the subject are dealt with. Professor Austen's volume will be

 art is far advanced." Chemical News.

 mend every one who desires information not only to consult, but to STUDY this
