Abstract
THE author states in the preface that the work is intended for the use of merchants. This at once opens up the question whether a book of this kind, ostensibly written for non-chemists, can fulfil its object. The author is under the impression that a merchant has acquired, in the course of his secondary education, sufficient knowledge to read and interpret chemical equations, and he adopts in his work chemical symbols throughout, in the belief that it would be almost an insult to the German merchant to think him incapable of understanding chemical equations.
