Abstract
A REVIEWER is not bound to read the whole of the book which he reviews. I opened this book with the half-formed intention of practising the art of judicious skipping; but I have been obliged to read it all. I fancy that most people who take up the book, if they have some little acquaintance with chemistry will not care to put it down till they have read it through; and that those who dip into it, knowing no chemistry, will determine to become more familiar with this, the most fascinating and the most human of the sciences.
Essays in Historical Chemistry.
