Abstract
MR. GRIFFIN, the well-known manufacturer of scientific apparatus, earned the thanks of all students of science in this country by the publication of his first catalogue, now some eleven years ago, when the condition of things was much less far advanced than it is now. He has earned still greater thanks for his last edition, which is much more complete, more copiously illustrated, and more carefully brought up to the present needs of the student and the present possibilities of the maker. Those who noticed the many collections of such apparatus at South Kensington, last year, among which was one sent in by the Messrs. Griffin, cannot have failed to have been struck by the complication of the apparatus now required for chemical researches, and the skill, both in glass and brass, required to produce them. Mr. Griffin is evidently doing his best to uphold English manufactures against his continental rivals, and we wish him and his book every success. As the madman said of the dictionary, it is not light reading, and the plot is feeble; but, nevertheless, the book will be of use in every laboratory.
