(1) Organic Chemistry for Advanced Students (2) Systematic Organic Chemistry: Modern Methods of Preparation and Estimation

Abstract

(1) PROF. COHEN'S work is well known to all i serious students of organic chemistry, and for some years has been the best resume of modern theories and advances in that branch. The last few years have seen important discoveries and a considerable change in outlook towards this subject, and a new edition of “Organic Chemistry for Advanced Students “is very welcome. The work of revision has been very thorough and the volumes have grown considerably; the publishers are therefore to be congratulated on issuing them at the old price, though this has involved some slight irregularity in the appearance of the pages, obviously caused by the avoidance of the heavy expense of resetting the whole work. One cannot but feel that the consideration for the pocket of the student is justified, particularly as clearness has been in no way sacrificed, and only the fussy will bewail that the ensemble is not quite perfect in a volume which is meant for use rather than for ornament.
