Abstract
THE difficulty with which qualitative organic analysis can be systematised, and the fact that the properties of the various organic groupings can be learnt best by experience, has rendered the literature on this subject very meagre in comparison with the comprehensive works published on inorganic analysis. The two books under review are welcome additions to the literature, treating the subject, as they do, from different points of view.
