Elementary Class-Books — continued.
It has been the endeavour of the author to arrange the most important facts and principles of Modern Chemistry in a plain but concise and scientific form; suited to the present requirements of elementary instruction. For the purpose of facilitating the attainment of exactitude in the knowledge of the subject, a series of exercises and questions upon the lessons have been added. The metric system of weights and measures, and the centigrade thermometric scale, are used throughout the work. The New Edition, besides new wood-cuts, contains many additions and improvements, and includes the most important of the latest discoveries, “As a standard general text-book it deserves to take a leading place.” — Spectator. “We unhesitatingly pronounce it the best of all our elementary treatises on Chemistry.” — Medical Times.

For the puerile illustrations too often found in works on Logic, examples drawn
