    Xll But to restrict this work merely to the methodical course of investigation appeared to me too incomplete; on the contrary, I considered it necessary to submit a short review of the apparatus and reagents required for the investigation, as well as of the whole of the proximate constituents hitherto known, in order that my work might contain nearly evexything most ui-gently required for any phyto-chemical analysis, while dispensing with the necessity of consulting other works, involving loss of time and often pro- ducing unsatisfactory results.* WITTSTEIK Munich, February, 1868. * All temperatures given in this book refer to the centesimal (Celsius') thermometer.
