Abstract

NEXT week we publish ah extra number entirely devoted to an account of the life and work of M. Dumas, the eminent French chemist, and one of the greatest of living Scientific Worthies. Dr. Hofmann, of Berlin, has been good enough to devote a great deal of time and research to this paper, and has treated the important subject in such detail that, owing to. the pressure on our space at present, it is impossible for us to find room for this long article in the ordinary way, and we are therefore compelled to devote to it an extra number. We are sure our subscribers will give us their willing approval and support in an emergency so very special, and all will doubtless be glad to have this sketch of an eminent French chemist by so eminent a German confrère.
