The present work is now so universally acknowledged as the best text-book of chemistry in the English language, as to supersede the necessity of any re- marks from us. If external reference to the great merits of Kane’s Elements of Chemistry were ne- cessary, we might point to the high character given of it by the greatest chemist of this or any other country, we mean the distinguished and worthy successor of Sir Humphrey Davy, Faraday, and has recommended its adoption in the Royal School of Woolwich. Among the many excellent qualities of this work, we were forcibly struck by the great simplicity of the Author’s style, which is such as to render even the more compli- cated parts of the science intelligible to the veriest tyro in chemistry, while to the more advanced student it cannot fail to recommend itself by the circumstance of its containing all the latest im- provements and discoveries in chemical science. We perceive that our American friends are pre- paring a new edition.’-—Johnson’s Medico-Chi- rurgical Review. :
