FOWNES (GEORGE), PH. D., tc. 

 A MANUAL OF ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY; Theoretical and Practical. 



With one hundred and ninety-seven illustrations. Edited by ROBERT BRIDGES, M. D. In one 



large royal 12mo volume, of 600 pages, extra cloth, $1 75. 



The death of the author having placed the editorial care of this work in the practised hands of 

 Drs. Bence Jones and A. W. Hoffman, everything has been done in its revision which experience 

 could suggest to keep it on a level with the rapid advance of chemical science. The additions 

 requisite to this purpose have Recess-hated an enlargement of the page, notwithstanding which the 

 work has been increased by about fifty pages. At the same time every care has been used to 

 maintain its distinctive character as a condensed manual for the student, divested of all unnecessary 

 detail or mere theoretical speculation. The additions have, of course, been mainly in the depart- 

 ment of Organic Chemistry, which has made such rapid progress within the last few years, but 

 yet equal attention has been bestowed on the other branches of the subject Chemical Physics and 

 Inorganic Chemistry to present all investigations and discoveries of importance, and to' keep up 

 the reputation of the volume as a complete manual of the whole science, admirably adapted for the 

 learner. By the use of a small but exceedingly clear type the matter of a large octavo is compressed 

 within the convenient and portable limits of a moderate sized duodecimo, and at the very low price 

 affixed, it is offered as one of the cheapest volumes before the profession. 



Dr. Fownes' excellent work has been universally 

 recognized everywhere in his own and this country, 

 as the best elementary treatise on chemistry in the 

 English tongue, and is very generally adopted, we 

 believe, as the standard text- book in all cur colleges,

The work of Dr. Fownes has long been before 

 the public, and its merits have been fully appreci- 

 ated as the best text-book on chemistry now in 

 existence. We do not, of course, place it in a rank 

 superior to the works of Brande, Graham, Turner, 

 Gregory, or Gmelin, but we say that, aa a work 

 for students, it is preferable to any of them. Lon-
