Abstract
THE preparation and properties of a number of organic compounds are dealt with in short paragraphs in a manner reminding one of the text-books of qualitative analysis, which are now so universally condemned. But little attempt is made to indicate the quantities which should be used, and no emphasis whatever is laid on the importance of making organic preparations in a quantitative manner. We even doubt whether the beginner would attain the required result in performing many of the preparations described.
