![po WNES {GEORGE), Ph. D. A MANUAL OF ELEMENTARY CTIEMISTRY ; Theoretical and Practical. Revised and corrected by IIf.nry Watts, B.A., F R.S., author of •• A Diction- ary of Chemistry, etc. With a colored plate, and one hundred and seventy-seven illus trations. A new American, from thi twelfth and enla-geil Lundon edition. Edited by Robert Bridges. M.D. In one lar^e royal 12mo. volume, of over 1000 pages; cloth, $2 75 ; leather, $3 25. {Just Beady.) Two careful revisions by Mr. Watts, since the appearance of the last American edition of Fownes, have so enlarged the work that in England it has been divided into two volumes In reprinting it, by the use of a stna'l and exceedingly clear type, cast for the purpose, it has been found possible to comprise the whole, without omission, in one volume, not unhandy for study and reference. The enlargement of the work has induced the American Editor to confine his auditions to the narrowest compass, and he has accordingly inserted only such discoveries as have been an- nounced since the very recent appearance of the work in England, and has added the standards in popular use to the Decimal and Centigrade systems employed in the original. Among the additions to this edition will be found a very handsome colored plate, representing a number of spectra in the spectroscope. Every care has been taken in the typographical execu- tion to render the volume worthy in every respect of its high reputation and extended use, and though it has been enlarged by more than one hundred and fifty pages, its very moderate price will still maintain it as one of the cheapest volumes accessible to the chemical student. done, and that Professor Bridges has added some fresh and valuable matter, especially in the inor- When we state that, in our opinion, the present edition sustains in every respect the high reputation which its predecessors have acquired and enjoyed, we express therewith our fall belief in its intrinsic value as a text-book and work of reference.—Am. Journ. of Pharm , Aug. 1878. The conscientious care which has been bestowed upon it by the American and English editors renders it still, perhaps, the best book for the student and the practitioner who would keep alive the acquisitions of his student days. It has, indeed, reached a some- what formidable magnitude with its more than a thousand pages, but with less than this no fair repre- sentation of chemistry as it now is can be given. The ganic chemistry. The book has always been a fa vorite in this coun ry, and in its new shape bids fair to retain all its former prestige.—Boston Jour, of Chemistry, Aug 1S78. It is almost superfluous to remark on a book so long and favorably known. In the present edition, organic chemistry is treated more fully than it has been done in the previous editions.—Philada. Chemist and Druggist, July, 1878. It will be entirely unnecessary for ns to make any remarks relating to the geueral character of Fowue's Manual .For over twenty years it has held th-. foi type is small but very clear, and the sections are very ra08t place as a ,ext-bo*ok, and the elaborate and lucidly arranged to facilitate study and reference. Med and Surg. Reporter, Aug 3, 1878. The work is too well known to American students to need any extended notice; satfice it to say that the revision by the English editor has been faithfully thorough revi.-ions which have been made from time to timeleavelittlechauce for any wideawakerival to step before it.—Cana'ii'in Pharm.

D., Professor of Practical Chemistry to the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, Ac. CHEMISTRY, GENERAL, MEDICAL, AND PHARMACEUTICAL ; including the Chemistry of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia. A Manual of the General Principles of the Science, and their Application to Medicine and Pharmacy. Seventh American edi- tion, revised from the Sixth English edition by the author. In one handsome royal 12mo. volume of 668 pages, with 87 illustrations : cloth, $2 75; leather, $3 25. (Just Issued.) This work has received a very careful revision at the hands of the author, resulting in a consider- able increase in size, together with the addition of a handsome series of illustrations. Notwith- standing these improvements, the price has been maintained at the former very moderate rate. It is a valuable work for the busy practitioner, ex- cluding as it does everything that would be of inte- rest only to the scientific chemist, and having acom- prehensive index which renders after consultation easy. That portion devoted to urinalysis and prac- tical toxicology, aud the tests for impurities in medi- cinal preparations, is especially valuable to the practising physician. For the student it is desirable, for the reason that it is so arranged that he may, without an instmcor, study the science experiment- ally.—Am. Practitioner, March, 1S77. After having used it as a text-hook in the laboratory of the PhiladelphiaCollegeof Pharmacy duriner the last five years, we can speak from our own experience, and testify to its intrinsic value in the instruction of the itudent. The more we have used it. the more we were pleased with it. and on the appearance of a new. revised, and enlarged edition, we take occasion to again cordi- ally recommend it, believing that for the practical in- struction of pharmaceutical students in chemistry it ha* no superior in the English language.—Av\. Journ. of Pharm., Nov. 1876. As a compact manual of the general principles of the science ami their applications in medicine and phar- macy, it has no rival, and the frequent and thorough revision it receives keeps it in all respects op with the times The American edition., which covers the United States Pharmacopeia, is prepared under the author's upervisiou —B<>tVm Journal of Cltemistry, Nov 1S76. /?<9 WMAN {JOHN E.)\ M.D. INTRODUCTION TO PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY, INCLUDING ANALYSIS.
