Abstract
THESE two little volumes are for use in schools, and are intended to serve as an introduction to chemistry. Oscroft and Shea's manual carries the subject to the stage of equivalent weight estimations and simple gravimetric and volumetric analysis, whilst Hood's book, which is a first year's course, stops short of this point. Both books contain descriptions of a series of easy quantitative experiments on loss and gain in weight, as well as a detailed account of a variety of thoroughly instructive preparations.
