FOWNES (GEORGE), PH. D., &.C. 

 A MANUAL OF ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY; Theoretical and Practical. 



From the seventh revised and correoled London edition. With one hundred and ninety-seven 



illustrations Edited by Robert Bridges, M. D. In one large royal 12mo volume, of (500 



pao^es. In leather, $1 65; extra cloth, $1 50. {Jttst hsued.) 



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

 Drs. Bence Joner=^ 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 t-cienoe. Tlie additions 

 requisite lo this purpose have Heces>i1ated an enlargement of the page, notwith.standing which the 

 work has been inrreased by about fifty pages. At the same time every care has been used lo 

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

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

 ment of Organic Chemistry, which has made such rapid progress wilhin 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 arfd discoveries of imporlance, 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 bul exceedingly clear type the matter of a large octavo is compressed 

 within the convenient and portable limits of a moderate sized duod**cimo, and at the very low price 

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



Dr. Fow^nes' excellent work has heen universally 

 rec(pp:nized evervw^herein iiis own and this country, 

 as the best elementary treatise on chemistry m ihe 

 English tonE^ue, and is very preiierallv adopted, we 

 believe, as the standard text book in all r ur colleges, 

 both literary and scientific— CAar/es«on Med. Journ. 

 and Review. 



A standard manual, which has long enjoyed the 

 reputation of embodying much knowledgein asmall 

 apace. The author hasachieved the difficult task of 

 condensation with musterly tact. His book is con- 

 cise without being dry, and brief without being too 

 dogmatical or general. — Virginia Med. and Surgical 

 Journal . 



The w^ork of Dr. Fownes has long been before 

 the public, and its merits have berin fully appreci- 

 ated as th6 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, as a work 

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

 don Journal of Medicine. 



A work well adapted to the wants of the student 

 It is an excellent exposition of the chief doctrinea 

 and facts of modern cliemistry . The size nf the work, 

 and still more the condensed yet perspicuous style 

 in which it is written, absolve it from the charges 

 very properly urged against most manuals termed 

 pop\ila.T.— Edinburgh Journal of Medical Scienct.

From Pmf. Wolcott Gihbs, N. Y. Free Academy. 



The work is an adtnirahle one in all respects, and 

 its republication here cannot fail to exert a positive 

 influence upon the progrcBS of science in this country. 



From Prof. E. N. Horsford, Harvard College. 

 It has, in its earlier and less perfect editions, been 

 famil'ar to me, and the excellence of its plan and 

 the clearness and complet^ntsa of its discassions, 

 have long been my admiration.

We are happy to announce a new and improved 

 edition of this, one of the most valuable and useful 

 works thathave emanated from an American pen.

This edition has been greatly improved by the re- 

 vision and ample additions of Dr Thoinas, and is 

 now, we believe, one of the mosi complete works 

 of its kind in any language. The additions amount 

 10 aboulseventy pages, and no eflTort has been spared 

 to include in them all the recent improvements. .\ 

 work of this kind appears lo us indispensable to the 

 physician, and there is none we can more cordially
