Vocabulary of Chemical Terms and Others Used in 

 German Chemical Literature. 



The purpose of the vocabulary is to furnish the English meanings 

 of the more common technical terms used in German chemical literature. 

 With these have been included various terms, which, although not strictly 

 technical, have their uses chiefly in pure and applied science, and also 

 certain non-technical words found in the preceding articles, which are 

 of the common language, but of somewhat infrequent use in non-technical 

 literature. Technical terms are, however, predominant. 



The student of German scientific literature should have a good knowl- 

 edge of the common words of the language and should own a general 

 German dictionary. 



Where, owing to present usage, two different spellings are possible 

 for the same word, both are given and it is to be noted that in such 

 cases the wissenschaftliche takes precedence of the volkstiimliche Schreib- 

 weise. The former of these corresponds to the practice of the Berichte 

 der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft, the Annalen der Chemie and the 

 chemisches Zentralblatt.
