Abstract
THE authors say in the preface that their aim is “to introduce the student to chemistry by consideration of the simplest and fewest things.” Their intention is laudable enough, but it may be questioned whether their plan of entering into a long discussion of “the consecutive development of the principles upon which systematic chemistry rests,” before taking up the descriptive part of the subject, is one which can be commended.
