    -DRANDE (WM. T.] D. C.L., and rTAYLOR [ALFRED S.), M.D., F.R.S. CHEMISTRY. In one handsome 8vo. vol. of G96 pp., extra clotli. $4 50. The passage of this volume through the press has been superintended by a competent chemist who has sedulously endeavored to secure the accuracy so essential to a work of this nature. No additions have been made, but the publishers have been favored by the authors with some correc- tions and revisions of the first twenty-one chapters, which have been duly inserted. A most comprehensive aud compact volume. Its | the clearest, autl most practical tliat can be i)ut in the information is recent, aud is conveyed in clear lan- guage. Its index of sixty closely-printed columns shows with what cai-e new discoveries have been added to well-known facts.—The Chemical Neios. The Handbook in Chemistry op the Student.— For clearness of language, accuracy of descrijition, e.xtent of information, and freedom from pedantry and mysticism, no other text-book comes into com- petition with it.—The Lancet. The authors set out with the definite purpose of writing a book which shall he intelligihle to any educated man. Thus conceived, and worked out in the most sturdy, common-sense method, this book gives in the clearest and most summary method possible*aU the facts and doctrines of chemistry.— Medical Times. We can cordially recommend this work as one of hands of the student.—Edinburgh Med. Journal. It abounds in innumerable interestiug facts not to be found elsewhere; and from the rnas'erly manner in which every subject is handled, with its pleasing mode of describing even the dryest details, it cannot fail to prove acceptable, not only to those for whom it is intended, but to the profession at large.—Canada Lancet. We have for a long time felt that the preparation of a proper chemical text-book for students would be time better spent than in the invention of a novel system of classification or the discovery of half a dozen new elements ending in iura. We believe this want has at last been satisfied in the book now before us, which has been prepared expressly for medical students by two of the most experienced teachers of the science iu England.—Boston Med. and Surgical Journal. no WMAN {JOHN E.), M. D. PRACTICAL HANDBOOK OP MEDICAL CHEMISTRY. Edited by C. L. Bloxam, Professor of Practical Chemistry in King's College, London. Fourth American, from the fourth and revised English Edition. In one neat volume, royal 12mo., pp. 351, with numerous illustrations, extra cloth. $2 25. The fourth edition of this invaluable text-book of Medical Chemistry was published in Ens^laud in Octo- ber of the last year. The Editor has brought down the Handbook to that date, introducing, as far as was compatible with the necessary conciseness of such a ■work, all the valuable discoveries in the science ■which have come to light since the previous edition was printed. The work is indispensable to every student of medicine or enlightened practitioner. It is printed in clear type, and the illustrations are numerous and intelligible.—Boston Mtd. and Surg. Journal. The medical studeut and practitioner have already appreciated properly this small manual, in which instruction for the examination aud analysis of the urine, blood and uther animal products, both healthy and morbid, are accurately given. The directions for the detection of poisons in organic mixtures and in the tissues are exceedingly well exposed in a con- cise and simple manner. This fourth edition has been thoroughly revised by the editor, and brought up to the present state of practical medical chemistry. —Pacific Med. and Surg. Journal. B Y TEE SA3IE AUTHOR. INTRODUCTION TO PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY, INCLTIDINa ANALYSIS. Third American, from the third and revised London edition. With numer- ous illustrations. In one neat vol., royal ]2mo., extra cloth. $2 25. One of the most complete manuals that has for a | very judiciously simplified his subjects and illustra- long time been AthencEwm. given to the medical student.— We regard it as realizing almost everything to be desired iu an introduction to Practical Chemistry. It is by far the best adapted for the Chemical student of any that has yet fallen in onr way.—British and Foreign Medico-Chirv.rgical Review. The best introductory work on the subject with ■which we are acquainted.—Edinburgh Monthly Jo^hr. This little treatise, or manual, is designed espe- cially for beginners. With this view the author has tions as much as possible, and presents all of th details pei-tainiog to chemical analysis, and other portions difficult for beginners to comprehend, ia such a clear aud distinct manner as to remove all doubt or difiiculty. Thus a subject which is usually regarded by students as almost beyond their com- prehension, is rendered very easy of acquisition. Several valuable tal>les, a glossary, etc., all combine to render the work peculiarly adapted to the wants of such; aud as such we commend it to them.—The Western Lancet. QRAHAM (THOMAS), F. R. S. THE ELEMENTS OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, including the jApplications of the Science in the Arts. New and much enlarged edition, by IIenry Watt.s and PvObkrt Biiidges, M. D. Complete in one large and handsome octavo volume, of over 800 very large pages, with two hundred and thirty-two wood-cuts, extra cloth. $5 50. Part II,, comjjleting the work from p. 4.S1 to end, with Index, Title Matter, kc, may be had separate, cloth backs and paper sides. Price $3 00. Prr/m Prof. E. N. Horsfurd, Harvard College. It han, io ItH earlier and less perfect editions, been familiar to me, and tlie excellence of its plan and the cleariienB aud completeness of its discussions, have long been my admiration. Wo reader of English works on this science can afford to be without this edition of Prof. Graham's Elements.—Silliman'H Jov,rnal, March, IS.'iS. From Prof. Wolcott Olhbs, N. Y. Free Academy. The work is an admirable one in all respects, and its repiililication here cannot fail to exert a positive iniluence upon the progress of science in this country.
