Abstract
THIS small book is a collection of essays more or less bearing on the subject indicated by the title, and may perhaps be also described as a sort of protest against a grievance. The elevating and spurring effect of the possession of a grievance is well known, and it must be admitted that in this case it has, apparently at least, contributed to the production of a very entertaining little book, which will no doubt, as it is intended, “wake up” chemists generally to a clear perception of their absurd and useless theories of chemical constitution.
