Abstract
THE first part of the new edition of this standard work on the alkaloids is devoted entirely to a treatment of various classes of bases the constitutions of which have in most instances been settled (“die chemisch naher bekannten Basen”). The sectional headings are (1) aliphatic bases (including aminoacids), (2) aromatic and fatty-aromatic bases, (3) amides, (4) urea derivatives (including the purines), (5) heterocyclic bases of the pyrrole-pyridine group (including coniine, pelletierine, atropine, cocaine, and nicotine). There is a historical introduction of 34 pages, but no title-page, summary of contents, or index is supplied at this stage in the publication.
