“Elementary Chemistry,” and “Practical Chemistry”

Abstract

I CRAVE leave from the Editor for space in which to reply, on my own behalf and on that of my fellow-authors Messrs. Slater and Carnegie, to the charges brought by “H. E. A.” in NATURE of January 19 (p. 265) against our method of teaching chemistry. At the outset I thank “H. E. A.” for the patience which, as he publicly announces, he has shown in waiting for the publication of these books, and I condole with him in his disappointment. Like him, I too am waiting patiently; I trust my disappointment will be less bitter.
