Abstract
THIS is an elementary class-book for use in the fourth class in the Austrian State schools, that is, for boys of about twelve or thirteen 3 years of age. It covers much the same ground as the usual elementary class-books on chemistry. In the longest portion of the book, that on inorganic chemistry, however, there are added brief descriptions of the more important minerals which yield the elements, under discussion; the pupil is thus at the same time told how chemical compounds and elements occur in nature. Figures are given of crystals of these minerals, but several of them have been placed upside down in the text. There is a short section on organic chemistry, in which prominence is given to compounds of everyday use. The book is very well and clearly printed on good paper.
