Abstract
WE learn from the preface that this translation of Schmidt's “Kurzes Lehrbuch der organischen Chemie” arises from the encouraging results that attended the adoption of the German original as a text-book for the advanced students in the University of Edinburgh, and indeed the translator has done his work so admirably and produced so readable a book that there can be no question that it also will find a similar welcome in other English-speaking universities. It is the type of book that the teacher can recommend with confidence to the more ambitious second-year and pass students in organic chemistry, and, in so far as any single text-book can meet the ever-growing requirements of the honours students of a university, this book will prove both helpful and useful.
A Text-Book of Organic Chemistry.
By Prof. Dr. Julius Schmidt Dr. H. Gordon Rule. Pp. xxiv + 798. (London and Edinburgh: Gurney and Jackson, 1926.) 25s. net.
