About three years since, when reviewing in this Journal the third edition of ‘The 
Art of Perfumery, and the Means of Obtaining the Odours of Plants,’ by Septimus 
Piesse, we recommended the volume as the best practical treatise on perfumery to be 
found in the English language. The favourable opinion then expressed by us has 
been proved to have been deserved, for the work has not only gone through several 
editions in this country, but has been reprinted in America, and translated into German 
and French. The French translation, which is the subject of our present notice, ap¬ 
pears to have been prepared with much care, and is enriched by the addition of new 
matter by the author and translator, and especially by the introduction, by M. 0. Reveil, 
of an interesting chapter, entitled “Hygiene des Parfums et des Cosmetiques,” which 
will well repay perusal. We regret to state that Dr. Reveil has died since the appear¬ 
ance of his translation.

This volume bears ample testimony to the success which has attended the Scientific 
Meetings of the Odontological Society. Many of the papers are of great value in a 
practical point of view; and others are of a high scientific character. The volume is 
beautifully illustrated, and well printed.
