    TO THE SEVENTH LONDON EDITION. Two years only have elapsed since the previous edition of this Manual was published. The progress of Organic Chemistry has rendered many changes requisite. The most important addition will be found in the theory of the Polyacid Alcohols. Throughout all the Organic Chemistry improvements have been made, and many subjects have been re-arranged. Still the Editors have endeavored to preserve the original plan of the work, and as yet they have thought it most desirable to retain the equivalent numbers which have so long been used in this country. The advance of knowledge will probably lead to changes both in formulae and in nomenclature; but the Editors do not consider that at the present time the Manual should in these respects be altered. The whole work has been corrected and revised throughout. H. BENCE JONES A. W. HOFFMAN. LONDON, Augutt 20, 186a (Til)
