Abstract
THE three books under review are so closely related to modern organic chemistry that they are conveniently taken together. They represent in a very marked manner the kind of organic chemistry which the young man of the present day, and perhaps for the next twenty-five years, will have to learn if he desires either to make the subject his life-study or intends to use it merely as a stepping stone to other walks of life.
