Abstract
PROF. CHAMBERLAIN'S textbook follows the usual lines. Only important compounds are described, and attention is directed to the general relationships between groups of compounds. The style is clear and the matter well arranged, so that students beginning the serious study of organic chemistry should find the book of value, especially if supplemented by lectures, as the author intended. The printing and paper are good. From the large number of elementary textbooks on organic chemistry which have appeared recentlyone might be led to infer that some new methods of teaching the subject had been evolved. This does not seem to be the case.
