Abstract
THE second edition of Prof. Smith's “General Chemistry for Colleges” has been entirely rewritten. It now covers nearly 700 pages, and might easily be mistaken for a new edition of the author's well-known General Inorganic Chemistry. Regarded from this point of view, the book is excellent: a very careful scrutiny would be needed to discover anything of real value or importance that has been sacrificed in the smaller as compared with the larger book, and the student has good reason to be pleased. with a condensation which, after eliminating more than a hundred pages of text, has left him with a book that still covers everything that was essential in the original syllabus.
General Chemistry for Colleges.
By Prof. A. Smith. Pp. x + 662. Second edition. (London: G. Bell and Sons, Ltd., 1916.) Price 6s. 6d. net.
