![JpoWNES [GEORGE], Ph.D. A MANUAL OF ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY; Theoretical and Practical. Eevised and corrected by Henry 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 tht twelfth and enlarged London edition. Edited by KoBEKT Bridges, M.D. In one large royal 12mo. volume, of over 1000 pages; cloth, $2 75; leather, $3 25. {Just Ready.) 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 small and exceedingly clear type, cast for the purpose, it has been found possible to comprise the vphole, without omission, in one volume, not unhandy for study and reference. The enlargement of the work has induced the American Editor to confine his additions 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 Decimnl 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. what formidable magnitude with its more than a thousand page?, but witli less than this uo fair repre- sentation of cliemistry as it now is can be given. The This work, inorganic and organic, is complete in one convenient volume. In its earliest editions it was fully up to the latest advancements and theo- ries of that time. In its present form, it presents, in a remarkably convenient and satisfactory man- npr, the principles and leading facts of the chemistry of to-day. Concerning the manner in which the various tubjects are treated, much deserves to be said, and mostly, too, in praise of the book. A re- view of such a work ae Fownes's Cheini-itry within the limits of a book-notice for a medical weekly is simply out of the question.—Cinci'iinnti Lancet and Clinic, D.-C. It, 1878. 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 full belief in its intrinsic value as a text-book and work of reference.—Am. Journ. of Pharm.., Aug. 1878. The conscientious care wliich has been bestowed npon 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- type is small but very clear, and the sections are very lucidly arr.suged to facilitate study and reference.— Me.d. and Surg. Reporter, Aug. .3, 1878. The work is too well known to American students to need any extended notice ; safflce it to say that the revi.-ion by the English editor has been faithfully done, and that Professor Bridges has added some fresh and valuable matter, especially in the inor- ganic chemistry. Ttie book has always been a fa- vorite in this' country, and in its new shape bids fair to retain all its former prtstige.—Boston Jour, of Chemistry, Aug. 1878. It will be entirely unnecessary for ns to make any remarks relating to the general characterof Fownes' Manual. For over twenty years it has held the fore- most place as a text-book, and the elnborate and thorough revisions which have been made from time to time leavelittle chance for any wide awake rival to step before it.—Canadian Pliarm. Jour., Aug. 1878. As a manual of chemistry it is without a superior in the language.—Md. Med. Jour., Aug. 1878. A TTFIELD [JOHN), Ph.D., ■^-*- Professor of Practical Chemistry to the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, &e. 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. Eighth edition revised by the author. In one handsome royal 12mo. volume of 700 pages, with illustrations. Cloth, $2 50 ; leather, $3 00. (Just Ready.) We have repeatedly expressed our favorable opinion of this work, and on the appearance of a new edition of it, little remains for us to say, ex- cept that we expect this eighth edition to be as indispenssble to us as the seventh and previous editions have been. While the general plan and arrangement have been adhered to, new matter has been added covering the obsei'vations made since the former edition The present difi'ers from the preceding one chiefly in these alterations aiid in about ten pages of useful tables added in the appendix —Am. Jour, of J'harmacy, May, 1S9. A standard work like Attfield's Chernistry need only be mentioned by its name, without furllier comments The present edition contains such al terations and additions as seemed necossiory for the demonstration of the latest developments of chemical principles, and the latest applications of chemistry to pharmacy. The author has bestowed arduoTB labor ou the reviKion, and the ex'ent of the information thus iotroduced may be estimated from the fact that the index contains three hun- dred new references relating to additional mate- rial.—D?*»4£?£ri«<5' Circular and Chemical Gazette, May, 1879. This very popular and meritorious work has now reached its eighth edition, which fact speaks io the highest terms in commendation of its excel lence. It has now become the principal text-book of chemistry in all the medical colleges in the United States. The present edition contains such alterations and additions as seemed necessary for the demonstration of the latest developments of chemical principles, and the latest applications of chemistry to pharmacy. It is scarcely nece.'sary for us to say that it exhibits chemistry in Its pre- sent advanced state.—Cincinnati Medical Ntws, April, 1879. The popularity which this work has enjoyed la owing to the origiual and clear disposition of the facts of the science, the accuracy of the details, and the omission of much which freights many treatises hf avily without bringing corresponding instruction to the reader. Dr. Attliold writes for students, and primarily for medical students ; he always has an eye to the pharmacopeia and its ofllcinal prepara- tions; and he is continually putting thn matter in the text so that it responds to the questions with which each section is provided. Thus thn student learns easily, and can always refresh and test his knowledge.—Jl/fd andSnrg. Reporter, Aprill9,79. We noticed only about two years and a half ago the Dublication of the preceding edition, and re- marked upoo the exceptionally valuable character of the work. The work now iacludes the whole of the chemistry of the ptiarniacop(i)ia of the United States, Groat Britain, and iuiWa.—New Remedief, May, 1879.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21223270_0874.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
