Abstract
IT will of course be superfluous to say anything in the way of criticism concerning this well-known manual. The death of its lamented author has necessitated the placing of the fifth edition in other hands, and it could not have fallen into better than those of its present editor. The principal changes so far have been a re-arrangement of the articles in accordance with the modern method of study and the removal of certain parts, such as those on gas analysis and the description of certain carbon compounds, to the appendix preparatory to their removal to the third part, to which they more strictly belong.
Elements of Chemistry, Theoretical and Practical.
By William Allen Miller. Part II. Inorganic Chemistry. Revised by Herbert McLeod, F.C.S., Professor of Experimental Science, Indian Civil Engineering College, Cooper's Hill. 5th edit, with additions. (London: Longmans, 1874.)
