APApER or CHEMICAL LITERATURE.

Professor Bolton. Of Trinity College, Hartford,
Conn., read a paper on Chemical Literature" lie
traced the history Of chemical literature from the
earliest known manuscripts t. the beginning OF this
century, describing the characteristics of the
various classes Of works at different epoch,
the discoveries they chrOniclei. and their
in1uence on the contcmporaneous sciences. After
referring TO the extant writings on the sacred
art " preserved in the great European libraries and
