been  observed  by  us,  one  of  these  being  the  name  of  Soxhlet,  which,  on 
pp.  127  and  504,  is  spelled  '*  Xoxheth."

Electro-chemical  way. 
A  pamphlet  printed  in  explanation  of  a  large  number  of  aniline-deriva- 
tives ahd  other  coloring  matters  obtained  in  the  manner  indicated  and 
exhibited  at  the  electrical  exposition  of  Paris.  As  early  as  1875  the  author 
indicated  his  line  of  investigations,  and  some  of  the  results  obtained,  in  a 
communication  to  the  Industrial  Society  of  Mulhouse.  The  pamphlet 
contains  four  plates  illustrative  of  the  apparatus  employed  in  these

The  Students''  Guide  m  Quantitative  Analysis ;  intended  as  an  Aid  to  the 
Study  of  Fresenius'  System.  By  H.  Carrington  Bolton,  Ph.D.,  Profes- 
sor of  Chemistry  in  Trinity  College,  Hartford,  Conn.  Illustrated.  New 
York  :  John  Wiley  &  Sons,  1882.    8vo,  pp.  127.    Price,  $1.50. 
Quantitative  chemical  analysis  can  be  undertaken  only  by  one  who  has 
well  mastered  the  various  methods  for  the  qualitative  recognition  and  sep- 
aration of  the  various  elements  and  compounds,  and  in  thus  working  has 
accustomed  himself  to  accuracy.  In  commencing  the  determination  of 
quantities  articles  are  selected,  beginning  with  the  simpler  compounds 
and  proceeding  gradually  to  the  more  complex  and  difficult  ones.  The 
book  before  us  contains  such  a  judicious  selection  of  examples  for  quanti- 
tative analysis,  and  gives  brief  but  ample  directions  for  accomplishing  the 
task,  at  the  same  time  indicating  the  points  requiring  special  study.  It  is 
well  adapted  for  practical  laboratory  work,  and  while  primarily  intended 
for  the  beginner,  also  the  more  advanced  student  will  find  it  a  valuable 
"  guide."  The  typography,  illustrations,  jDaper  and  binding  are  alike  com- 
mendable.

We  have  noticed  the  first  volume  of  this  valuable  work  in  our  February 
number,  page  96,  to  which  we  refer  for  favorable  comments,  which  apply 
alike  to  the  book  before  us.  This  contains  thirty  plates,  with  the  accom- 
panying descriptive  text,  illustrating  dissections  of  the  perinieum,  the 
abdominal  2)arietes,  the  jjelvis  and  the  lower  limb.
