6 THE AMERICAN SCIENCE SERIES. 
CHEMISTRY. By IRA REMSEN, Professor in the Johns Hop- 
kins University. 
Briefer Course. 12mo. Pp. 387. $1.40. 
An introduction to the study of chemistry, following the 
inductive method. Toavoid overburdening the student’s mind, 
the author has presented a smaller number of facts than is 
usual in elementary courses in chemistry, but he has at the same 
time taken pains to select for treatment such substances and 
such phenomena as seein best suited to give an insight into the 
nature of chemical action. In other words, he has aimed to 
make the book scientific, to lay stress upon the relations which 
exist between the phenomena considered, and not to present 
merely a mass of apparently disconnected facts. Another 
feature of the work is that principles and laws are treated be- 
fore the theories which are proposed to account for them.
