Abstract
IN the period of sixteen years since the publication of the corresponding volume in the fourth edition of “Allen's Commercial Organic Analysis,” there has been a considerable advance in our knowledge of practically all the sections under review. In spite of the enormous amount of data to be included on a great number of subjects in a limited space, the editors have presented a readable and connected book. They have avoided the temptation of presenting their material in the usual dull dictionary form now so common in many comprehensive treatises on specialised branches of science.
