Abstract
THE days of that ancient bugbear, the “Guide to Knowledge,” containing in the form of questions and answers a concise résumé of all “the scientific facts that a well-educated boy or girl should have learnt,” are fast coming to an end. Dr. Benedict has struck another blow at them in issuing his manual of “Chemical Lecture Experiments.” The aim of the book is to furnish teachers with a set of trustworthy experiments which can be carried out with ordinary, simple apparatus, all others being rigorously excluded.
