SCIENTIFIC BOOKS. 

 Gesammelte Werke. By Adolf von Baeyer. 

 Vol, I., pp. 1-990, with an introduction, 

 pp. i-cxxxii; Vol. II., pp. 1-1194. Braun- 

 schweig, Vieweg and Sohn. 1905. 

 The friends and students of Adolf von 

 Baeyer deemed his seventieth birthday a fit- 

 ting occasion for honoring him by the publica- 

 tion of his scientific papers, 278 in number, 

 from 1857 to 1905; and Baeyer graciously 

 gave his consent to the plan. In the intro- 

 duction, pp. i-xx and xxviii-xxxi, the great 

 chemist gives a brief and very interesting 

 account of the chief events in his life; he then 

 discusses, on pp. xxxi-xxxvii, the main trend 

 and bearing of his scientific work. 



Emil Fischer gives, on pp. xxi-xxvii, a 

 striking sketch of the life in the laboratory 

 of Baeyer at Strassburg. 



" Es wurde nicht schulmassig unterrichtet 

 sondern kameradschaftlich gearbeitet." 



There is also a list, pp. Ivi-cxviii, of all the 

 scientific papers published from Baeyer's labo- 

 ratories, Berlin, 1860-72; Strassburg, 1872-5, 

 and Munich, 1875-1905.
