OF CHEMISTRY. THEORETICAL, PRACTICAL, AND TECHNICAL. BY F. A. ABEL, PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY AT THE ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY, WOOLWICH; AND AND C. L. BLOXAM, FORMERLY FIRST ASSISTANT TO THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF CHEMISTRY. C30 H A 141 1854 AMERICAN PUBLISHERS' NOTICE. THE passage of this volume through the press has been carefully superintended by a competent editor, to secure the typographical accuracy so necessary to a work of this nature. The very thorough manner in which the authors have carried out their intention in its preparation, and the recent date of their labors, have rendered unnecessary any additions to the text. A number of wood-cuts have, however, been introduced, the entire absence of illustrations in the English edition appearing to be a drawback to the utility of the work as a guide to the student engaged in chemical operations, a purpose for which it is especially designed, and will be found eminently fitted.
