Abstract
THIS small volume contains much of the information that is found in the larger text-books on the subject: in addition, space is found for compounds which are more usually dealt with in works on organic chemistry as distinct from biochemistry. The authors state that the book is intended for purposes of revision, for which it appears eminently suitable. In addition to the theoretical treatment, the more important tests, preparations, and methods of estimation are included, so that the student can quickly revise both the practical and theoretical sides of his subject. Chapters are devoted to the chemistry of colloids, to the alkaloids, and to other compounds of general biochemical interest. The book is not intended for beginners in biochemistry: these would be well advised to read a larger manual first, in conjunction with their lectures, and only turn to this pocket volume in the last few months before their examination.
