Abstract
DURING the last two or three years a number of elementary books on organic chemistry have appeared, and it may be doubted whether any purpose is served by further multiplication of the same material treated in the same way. The present volume has no very new features, but it gives a very clear and interesting account of the fundamental facts and theories of organic chemistry suitable for students preparing for scholarships at the universities. It also provides a course suitable for those beginning the subject in the universities, and for medical students. Experiments are included. The section on stereochemistry is particularly good, and a chapter is devoted to general methods of synthesis and analysis. The very moderate price of the book and its undoubted merit should make it popular.
