Abstract
THE volume of Dr. Friend's well-known text-book dealing with antimony and bismuth maintains the high standard of the series. The chemistry of these two elements is particularly difficult, and the author has wisely adopted a rather conservative attitude, in which the compounds are regarded as containing the element existing in one of two valency states, 3 and 5. The information includes the mineralogy and technology of the elements as well as the pure chemistry, and the physical constants of the elements and compounds are given in detail.
