shows  that  the  work  has  been  favorably  received.  In  the  present  edition, 
equations  have  been  added  in  explanation  of  the  reactions  of  reagents  with 
salts,  and  the  acids  have  been  arranged  in  three  groups,  two  for  the  inorganic 
and  one  for  the  organic  acids.  The  study  of  the  latter  is  a  source  of  difficulty 
to  the  beginner,  more  so  than  that  of  the  bases ;  a  systematic  arrangement  of 
the  former  is  desirable,  and  may,  we  think,  be  carried  further  with  advantage 
to  the  student  in  laboratory  work.
