Abstract
THIS is a small book of 162 pages which gives a clear account of the fundamental ideas upon which is founded the modern doctrine of chemistry in space, which sprang, as every one knows, out of Pasteur's classical researches on the relation between optical activity and crystalline form. Much fault need not be found with this book because it contains rather dogmatic statements of debatable propositions, but we venture to think the treatment of the subject too sketchy and superficial to afford much real help to the student.
