Abstract
THE German original of this book has already been noticed in these columns (vol. lxi. p. 51, 1899). It has been translated into smooth English by Mr. Pattison Muir, and it may be cordially recommended as a clear exposition of the leading facts and principles of chemistry, well adapted to the class of readers for whom it was written, namely, University extension students and general readers. It must be borne in mind that the book is not intended for those who are able to study chemistry with their own hands. The fifty-eight illustrations in the book are its worst feature, but they are by the author, and no doubt the translator had no choice but to reproduce them.
An Introduction to Modern Scientific Chemistry.
