Abstract
BOYS and girls in American agricultural high schools are the readers for whom this book is intended. The first part is devoted to the fundamental facts and principles of chemistry, whilst the second deals with the main chemical facts concerning plant and animal growth, cooking and cleaning, and with milk and its products. The early portion of the book is superficial, and not free from inaccuracies and ambiguities. There are many illustrations, some of which are rather trivial—e.g. “an open fire-place,”“a herd of beef cattle”—and some are on pages far removed from the description in the text, no references being given.
