Abstract
THE authors have accomplished the considerable feat of giving a comprehensive delineation of present-day chemistry within the limits of little more than a thousand pages. The account is well proportioned and up-to-date. Particular emphasis has been laid upon the underlying principles of the science, and upon its relationships to biology and technology. The introductory section of 258 pages by Prof. Matula forms an admirable preparation for the succeeding systematic treatment of inorganic (pp. 294) and organic (pp. 453) chemistry by Prof. Oppenheimer. The work offers at a reasonable price a useful German text for advanced students, teachers, biological chemists, and all who are interested in the industrial applications of chemistry.
