Abstract
THIS book had its origin in the courses of lectures on stereochemistry delivered during recent years by Prof. Werner in the University of Zurich. The systematic form of the lectures has been adhered to, but by the addition of numerous tables and many hundreds of references to original sources, the author has produced a comprehensive handbook which must prove of great utility, not only to the general chemist who wishes to know something of the advances made in stereochemistry since the conception was first put forward, but also to the specialist whose work is directly concerned with the subject. Notwithstanding the wealth of detail, the book is of moderate compass, and whilst compression in the theoretical portions is occasionally carried to such an extent as to interfere somewhat with intelligibility, yet the book is on the whole both readable and easily comprehensible. The eminence of the author as an investigator in some of the most obscure fields of stereo-chemical research is sufficient guarantee of his mastery of both theory and material.
