many  substances  simply  named  without  any  reference  to  solubility,  This 
is  probably  as  a  reminder  for  a  future  edition.  "We  would  encourage  the 
author  to  proceed  with  the  work,  and  to  be  as  explicit  as  possible  in  stating 
solubilities  as  to  proportions  of  solvent,  temperatures  and  time,  inasmuch 
as  some  very  soluble  bodies  dissolve  very  slowly. 
On  the  Economic  Applications  of  Sea  Weed.  By  Edward  C.  C.  Stanford, 
F.  C.  S.  15  pp.  large  octavo.  (Reprinted  from  the  Journal  of  the  So- 
ciety of  Arts,  Feb.  1862.) 
The  receipt  of  the  above  pamphlet  from  the  author  is  hereby  acknow- 
ledged, and  we  hope  to  make  some  extracts  of  interest  to  our  readers  in  a 
future  number  of  this  journal.  The  most  important  feature  of  this  paper 
is  a  new  way  of  treating  sea  weed  to  get  kelp,  by  which  various  collateral 
products,  heretofore  lost,  can  be  obtained. 
The  Industrial  Chemist.  Devoted  to  the  interests  of  practical  Science,  Arts, 
Manufactures,  Agriculture  and  Industry  in  general.  Edited  by  Pro- 
fessor H.  Dussauce,  of  New  Lebanon,  New  York.  Published  monthly,

This  work  is  intended  as  a  vehicle  for  conveying  information  in  regard 
to  Science  and  Art  to  its  readers,  and  judged  by  the  variety  presented  in 
the  first  number,  the  prospect  is  a  fair  one.  We  hope  the  Editor,  as  far  as 
possible,  will  adopt  the  honest  and  fair  practice  of  crediting  his  selected 
articles  to  the  Journals  or  authorities  whence  obtained,  not  only  in  justice 
to  writers,  but  greatly  to  the  satisfaction  of  investigators  who  may  wish  to 
consult  the  originals.  As  an  instance  of  this  want  of  care,  the  Journa  1 
and  Transactions  of  the  Maryland  College  of  Pharmacy,  in  April,  1862,  re- 
published Dr.  Pile's  letter  to  the  Editor  of  this  Journal,  from  our  January 
number,  without  credit,  appearing  to  allintents  and  purposes  as  addressed 
to  the  Editor  of  the  Maryland  Journal.  The  Journal  of  Materia  Medica, 
for  May,  copies  it,  and  credits  the  Maryland  Journal,  and  thus  the  ori- 
ginal source  of  the  article  remains  unknown  to  its  readers.

edition,  with  an  additional  chapter  on  Military  Surgery  by  W.  F.  Atlee,

The  volume  of  which  the  above  is  the  title  page,  is  not  intended  for  the 
Pharmaceutist,  but,  like  many  other  medical  and  surgical  works,  there  are 
many  hints  to  be  gleaned  from  it  which  may  contribute  to  extend  his  use- 
fulness on  many  legitimate  occasions  in  his  intercourse  with  the  public. 
The  second  chapter  is  devoted  to  "  surgical  dressings,"  which  describes
