Présentation de l'éditeur

In the writing of text-books ofO rganic Chemistry there are two distinct and incompatible systems. In the one, it is the practical aspect of the science which is kept in chief view; in the other, its symmetry and homogeneity. The one constantly directs attention to detail; the other approaches the subject with the desire of displaying its orderly principles and structural unity. The present writer adheres with conviction to the latter method. TT ie reader of text-books based upon the practical point of view is apt, if he be a beginner, to lose the thread of the argument in the wealth of facts ;for the mass of information necessary for the proper comprehension of the main principles of organic chemistry is so great, that additional details hinder rather than assist the student in his laborious task of assimilation. Even more important is the following consideration. Of recent years there has been an increasing tendency in examinations to set questions intended to be answered with all essential practical details a procedure designed to test the practical training of candidates. No real knowledge of organic chemistry can be acquired without laboratory work; and to supply in a small text-book, covering the entire field, these practical details, so that they can be memorised without actual experience, is contrary to the best interests of students. The present volume has been written to meet the new syllabus (1912) of the lower examination in organic chemistry in theB oard of Education Examinations inS cience and Technology. Previous knowledge of inorganic chemistry, though not of organic chemistry, is assumed. It is hoped that the matter here presented may also meet the needs of candidates for theM edical examinations in organic chemistry; with this in view, some of the more advanced portions, not intended for theM edical curricula, have been printed in smaller t
