Abstract
THIS is a reprint of Dr. Beddoes' translation of Scheele's essays, which was published in 1786 by John Murray and may still be picked up occasionally in second-hand book shops. The reproduction is faithful even to the mis-spelling of Priestley's name in Beddoes' preface. Between this preface and the essays, however, there now appears a memoir of the life and work of Scheele, written for the reissue by Mr. John Geddes McIntosh. Mr. McIntosh presumably has inspired the reissue of the essays, and if this will be the means of getting them more generally read by students of chemistry, he may so far prove a benefactor.
