Abstract
THE first edition of Bloxam's textbook was published in 1867. It must evidently have undergone very extensive revision. There can be scarcely a page of the original book left. The revision in the present edition has been wisely and thoroughly done, and the book is one which will be found most useful for reference purposes in schools or institutions where large treatises are not available. It covers the whole of chemistry in an interesting manner, and the descriptions of experiments are especially noteworthy. Many of these were new to the reviewer. The book will probably be found most useful to medical and pharmaceutical students for reference purposes, although it has a wider appeal.
