Author Description

Excerpt from Organic Chemistry New: Revised Edition Our original intention was to write a small text-book on Organic Chemistry, based on the syllabus drawn up by the Science and Art Department, in the hope that it would be useful to students attending the elementary or advanced classes in the subject, and not without value to teachers as a handy book of reference. As, however, it soon became apparent that, by making comparatively few additions, the subject-matter might be made to include the facts usually dealt with in a course of about sixty lectures, the scope of the work was enlarged to this extent, so as at the same time to make it more useful to general students as an introduction to Organic Chemistry.
