✦ Synopsis
Among the great number of text-books which are now available for the teaching of chemistry in our secondary schools this is undoubtedly one of the best. While it may be questioned whether certain innovations the author makes in the arrangement and order of the topics, and in the development of the theory, will appeal to every teacher, we know of no other text that so thoroughly covers elementary chemistry, either as an end in itself or as a preparation for colleges and professional schools. Every paragraph gives evidence not only of the author's mastery of the subject, but also of his long teaching experience. Considering the size of the book, it is very remarkable what an amount of accurate and up-to-date information in all branches of chemistry--inorganic, physical, organic, and industrial--may be found between its covers; and all this matter is thoroughly assimilated in the clear and logical exposition. The book is printed in clear type on good paper; the illustrations by the author's wife are clear and very numerous. A series of fine portraits of the great chemists forms an attractive feature of the book.
