Abstract
MOST analysts are aware that a fourth edition of Allen's well-known work is in course of preparation. Two of the eight volumes composing the edition have now appeared, and a notice of Vol. I. will be found in NATURE of June 16 last. Two more are announced for publication this year, and the remaining four are promised without undue delay. The plan of having both an American and an English editor has been adopted, and articles are contributed by writers from each side of the Atlantic. This seems a sensible arrangement, as with comparatively little modification the book is made to serve the needs of chemists in both countries.
