Abstract
WE are pleased to find that in spite of the unrest of the present time it has been possible to publish a fourth edition of the above well-known work. Browning's Introduction to the study of the rarer elements was first published in 1903 as a hand-book for the use of students. The work was successful from the first; a second edition appeared in 1908, and a third in 1912. Since then many new facts have been established, and the present issue has been revised and brought up to date, forming a valuable book of reference for practically all that is known about the history, sources, and properties of the rarer elements; numerous reactions are included that will help in the separation and analysis of these little-known bodies.

By Dr. P. E. Browning. Fourth edition, thoroughly revised. Pp. 250. (New York: J. Wiley and Sons, Inc.; London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1917.) Price 7s. net.
