Abstract
IN the present edition of this well-known manual the publishers have, wisely as we think, determined to divide it into two parts. In its old form the work had grown to be as unhandsome and cumbersome a volume as could be well imagined; like an overgrown yeast-cell it was obviously getting too big to hold together much longer, and many a student on his way to and from the lecture-room must have wondered, as he struggled to get the thick squat book into a comfortable carrying position, why the process of gemmation was so long delayed.
