Fownes' “Manual of Chemistry”

Abstract

ORGANIC chemistry is now progressing with such rapid strides, that a work on this subject becomes antiquated, at least in some parts, in the course of a few years. A new edition of a well known and favourite book must therefore be most welcome to students of this branch of chemical science, and more so when edited by a man whom we may justly call “the English Gmelin.”

Fownes' Manual of Chemistry.

Vol. II. Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, or Organic Chemistry. Twelfth Edition. By H. Watts. (London: Churchill, 1877.)
