Abstract
WADE'S “Organic Chemistry” is a book which has enjoyed a deserved popularity for some years. It is therefore only necessary to say that the new edition appears to have been carefully prepared, and that the appendix of laboratory experiments, occupying 65 pages, makes the volume a self-contained guide for students preparing for honours degrees. Dr. Stephen has added a new chapter on derivatives of pyrone, chromone and xanthone, and some new matter at the ends of various chapters. The price of the book brings it within the reach of students, and it may be warmly commended.
