Excerpt from A Text-Book of Organic Chemistry

A Novel can be reprinted unchanged so long as there is a public to buy it; but even with an interval of only a few years between successive issues, each new edition of a text-book of chemistry needs not only a careful revision, but also the rewriting of some of its chapters.

It has, therefore, been impossible to avoid making many alternations for this new edition. One of the chief features is the additional space allotted to the applications in organic chemistry of physico-chemical methods such as refraction, absorption, viscosity, and so on. The importance of these properties in organic chemical research is steadily increasing, and I think it necessary to mention them even in a short text-book of this description.

The section on tautomerism has been entirely rewritten; and the chapters on the benzene derivatives have been completely rearranged, because I have found it possible to treat this subject more systematically than formerly.

When this book is read for the first time, the matter printed from small type should be omitted, as it contains numerous references to subsequent portion of the next. Such references are in great measure avoided in the part from the type.

I am again indebted to Dr. Jamieson Walker for the care bestowed by him on the revision, a task difficult by the numerous alternations and extensive rearrangement.
