Abstract
THESE are welcome and important additions to the large number of text-books which deal with the fundamental principles of chemistry and their mode of presentation. Anyone still unconvinced that a knowledge of the fundamental principles of an ever-expanding science and some of their applications may not be a part of a general education might do well to make a detailed study of these books, one of the authors of which is a distinguished organic chemist, well known in Great Britain, and president of Harvard University.
