Abstract
THE first edition of this book, published two years ago, was noticed in these columns at some length. The present edition does not materially differ from it, but numerous additions of detail have been made in order to bring the book up to date. Conspicuous among these additions is information about the new gases—here called Edelgase, presumably from their relegation to Mendeleef's seventh group. A fine cbromo-lithograph of the spectra of the gases has been added. If there is a want of connectedness and philosophy in Prof. Erdmann's book, there is certainly an abundance of interesting detail collected from a wide field, and on this must lie its chief claim to recommendation.
