Abstract
THERE is at the present time no up-to-date treatise on carbohydrate chemistry. The last edition of Tollens's “Kurzes Handbuch” was published in 1914, the third edition of von Lippmann's “Chemie der Zuckerarten,” in two volumes, appeared in 1904, and Maquenne's “Les Sucres” in 1900. Neither of the books before us can claim to be a treatise on the subject, yet they both form useful additions to the literature.
