Abstract
MR. COCHRANE'S book deals historically, and to a certain extent popularly, with the ground usually covered in a first year's course of chemistry. It contains interesting biographical details of the great founders of the science, and deals with their important researches. These are supplemented by brief notes on modern chemistry, and the book is well illustrated with portraits. Mr. Cochrane's book should be very useful and interesting to beginners in chemistry, and its very moderate price brings it within the reach of all students. On p. 30 the name should be “Brand,” and on p. 64 “Warltire.”
