"Of the 695 pages constituting tins first moiety of the third and last volume of 

 Roscoe and Schorlemmer's new clieniiiul text-hook no less than 190 are oeiupied with 

 the discussion of the methods and the pliilosophy of the suhjiet. The systematic de- 

 scription of individual organic compounds — their oeeurrcnee, their [Production, their prop- 

 erties, and their reactions — begins with the methyl group, and then proceeds through 

 nineteen sections, or 270 numbered paragraphs. In tliese we are presented with well- 

 digested accounts of bodies containing from one to twenty-four atoms of carbon ; the 

 aromatic series, and those compounds which have, up to the present time, eluded classi- 

 fication, partially or wholly, being reserved, we J)re8unie, (or the sceoiul and conclufling 

 portion of the final installment of the work before us. It is dirticuU to praise too highly 

 the selection of materials and their arrangement, or the wealth of illustrations wliicii 

 explain and adorn the text. In its woodcuts, in its technological details, in its historical 

 notices, in its references to original memoirs, and. it may be ailded, in its clear type, 

 smooth paper, and ample margins, the volume under review [)resents most commendai)le 

 features. Whatever tests of accuracy as to figures and facts we have been able to apply 

 have been satisfactorily met, while in clearness of statement this volume leaves nothing 

 to be desired. Moreover, it is mo.st satisfactory to find that the progress of this valu- 

 able work toward completion is so rapid that its beginning will not have become anti- 

 cpiated before its end has been reached — no uncommon occurrence with elaborate treatises 

 OH natural science subjects." — London Academy. 



" The authors are evidently bent on making their book the finest systematic treatise 

 on m«Klem chemistry in the Knglish language, an aim in which they are well seconded by 

 their publishers, who spare neither pains nor cost in illustrating and otherwise getting 

 forth the work of these distinguished chemists.'' — Lnndon Afhcia-um. 



"It has been the aim of the authors, in writing their present treatise, to place before 

 the reader a fairly complete and yet a clear and succinct statement of the fads ot .Mod- 

 em Chemistry, while at the same time entering so far into a discussion of chemical theorv 

 as the size of the work and the present transition state of the science will permit. 



"Special attention has been paitl to the accurate description of the more important 

 proi'esses in technical chemistry, and to the careful representation of the most ap|)roved 

 tDrms of ap|iarattis employed. 



" Much attention has likewise been given to the representation of apparatus adopted 

 for lecture-room experiment, and the numerous new illustrations required for this pur- 

 pose hare all been taken from photographs of apparatus actually in use." — Kxiract from 

 J'Tf/aCf.
