" We bistro to give mime account of a Work caleolated
to excite gent interest in the chemical world. 11. author
has been lung koown as a brilliant and surceasfial public
leacher of the reiene.e, aid peculiarly conversant in its
marred application. we have no hesitation lot sl6rming,
that it coutaios greater porter of original h, than say

' Pages-34 and 33 of this year's printed book (to be
