Reply to a " NOTICE " of Messrs. WILEY & PUTNAM, publishers 

 of the unauthorized reprint of the Second Part of Professor 

 Liebig's Report on Organic Chemistry, published in the " Bos- 

 ton Daily Advertiser," of August 16, and in other newspapers. 



THE First Part of Professor Liebig's Report on Organic 

 Chemistry, drawn up at the request of the British Association, 

 has passed to a third edition in this country, having been pub- 

 lished by Mr. John Owen, of Cambridge. That the publisher 

 of the First Part of this Report would make arrangements for 

 publishing the Second, namely, the Animal Chemistry, was to 

 be expected, both by the " trade " and the public. 



From the care bestowed upon the republication of the First 

 Part, the author and translator were desirous that the Second 

 should appear from the same press, under the supervision of the 

 editor of the first, and arrangements were accordingly made. 



The arrangements, and the wishes of the translator and author 

 were duly announced! in the " Boston Medical Journal," in the 

 newspapers, and by a circular of the editor. 



In April, Messrs. Carey and Hart, of Philadelphia, announced 

 their intention of republishing the new work of Professor Liebig. 

 On being informed of the wishes of the author and translator, 

 they, at once, courteously relinquished their undertaking. 



Regardless of the usages of the trade, and of the published 

 wishes of the author and translator, Messrs. Wiley and Putnam, 

 of New York, with all possible despatch, republished the work, 

 from a London copy, with all the errors of the London press, 

 and others in addition. 



The editor, to whom the care of the republication in this 

 country had been committed by Dr. Gregory, deemed it his duty 

 to make known the fact, that the New York reprint was in- 

 correct.
