Abstract
THE doctrine of Quantivalence plays a most important part in the general theory of modern chemistry; but when carried out to the extreme lengths which Dr. Geuther claims for it, this doctrine, so useful in the classification of elements, fails altogether to bear an original meaning. The following is an extract from a table, on page 16 of the above-named work, showing the Quantivalence of the elements according to Geuther:—
