Abstract
I HAVE lately received the “Sach Register” of the Berichte der Deutschen Chemisechen Gesellschaft, 1868-87, in three volumes, indexing the twenty years of publication (thirty-six volumes). The work is admirably done, and is of inestimable value to the student of science generally. German scientific men and scientific Societies are far in advance of the English in the art of making the results of scientific research readily accessible. Witness the admirable “Bibliotheca Zoologica,” by Engelmann and Carus, and still continued by Taschenberg; the “Sach Registers” to Liebig's Annalen der Chemie, 1832-83, to Poggendorff's (now Wiedemann's) Annalen der Physik und Chemie, 1824-87, ana to the Journal für Praktische Chemie, 1833-87; and the “Repertorium Commentationum a Societatibus litterariis editarum,” by Reuss, in sixteen quarto volumes, which last valuable production covers the whole ground down to the end of the last century.
