Abstract
MR. CALDWELL (Professor of Agricultural Chemistry in the Cornell University) prepared this compilation for the use of his own pupils and agricultural students generally. Many of the chapters consist of translations from Wolff's “Anleitung,” and much more is taken from Fresenius's well-known works on analysis. The metric system of weights and measures, and the centigrade thermometric scale are adopted throughout; and a useful, but not sufficiently extensive set of tables is given at the end of the work.

After E. Wolff, Fresenius, Krocker, and others. Edited by G. C. Caldwell. Pp. vi. and 307. 8vo. (New York: Judd. London: Trübner, 1869.)
