Abstract
ALTHOUGH this does not seem to possess any features differentiating it from many other elementary text-books on chemistry, it is clearly written, and obviously the work of an experienced teacher. In some cases the information is not up-to-date, as on p. 128, where it is stated that “experiments carried out with the most elaborate precautions have shown that 1 grm. of hydrogen combines with 7.98 grm. of oxygen.” Ozone is said (p. 177) to have “a faint, peculiar smell.” Although molecular formulae and equations are used freely from p. 152, the molecular theory is not explained until p. 278 is reached. Instructions for experiments are given throughout the book, which provides a good introduction to chemistry.
