The Public School Chemistry. By J. H. Anderson, M.A. (Cassell
and Co.)—This is an abstract of the most important reactions of the elements and their compounds. It contains also an introduction on specific heat, and other parts of chemical physics ; atomicity, isomorphism, and per-centages. The book is interleaved, and we think it would form a very useful guide and note-book to those who require only an elementary knowledge of the science, and who have to do a little laboratory work.
