Abstract
THE seventh part of the above text-book, which forms the ninth volume of the entire work, brings to a close the publication of that standard treatise of which two of the earlier volumes were reviewed in these columns on a former occasion (November 14, 1901, Supp. iii.). Beyond an indication of the contents of the present volume, there is not much to add in the way of general remarks to the statements already made. The whole work, of translating and editing the early volumes and of writing the later ones has cost Dr. Brühl and his coadjutors five years' labour. As one result of the task which the editor first took in hand in 1896, chemical literature has been enriched by a series of valuable monographs written by specialists, these monographs, some of which were noticed in NATURE at the time of their appearance, foeing separate issues of certain sections of the present and former volumes. Chemists are no doubt familiar with the works on five- and six-membered heterocyclic systems (1898 and 1899), on vegetable alkaloids (1900) and on albuminoid substances (1900), all of which have originated in the manner indicated.
