Abstract
THESE two volumes bear striking testimony to the enormous strides made during the last twenty years in agricultural chemistry. Only within very recent times has the need for a cyclopædia been felt; previously the chemist could always pull through if he possessed one of the larger analytical treatises and had access to a set of the Jahresberichte for agricultural chemistry. Rapid progress set in when the subject was emancipated from the analytical stage; when the chemist, instead of being confronted with an interminable succession of analyses of manures, feeding-stuffs, and soils, was free to study the numerous problems presented by the plant in its relation to the soil, on the one hand, and the animal on the other.
