Abstract
MANUALS of chemistry that deal with the subject generally or in a specially practical manner are now so numerous, and perhaps we may add so similar, that it is not easy to discover the special advantages of each. Those before us are evidently all written by competent teachers who know their subject. As years go by there is a tendency, which is doubtless a very wholesome progress of development, to include more physical chemistry and more generalities, and we suppose that the time will come when general manuals will consist almost entirely of the exposition of such fundamental matters, leaving the detailed description of properties and specific changes to special sectional manuals and the larger works that aim at completeness.
