Abstract
THIS book is intended as an introduction to chemistry for college students, and is written on the newer (or, as we have heard it termed, the new-fangled) plan. In other words, the student is asked to record what he finds in his experiments, and not told what he should find. The success of this newer method, as of the older one, must depend on much besides the text-book; but if it be assumed that the student is anxious to learn and willing to take trouble, there can be little doubt where the advantage lies.
