Abstract
ALTHOUGH only four years have elapsed since the first edition of this work appeared, the great advances made in our knowledge of the chemistry of the proteids have necessitated a considerable revision of the book. The author, however, has found it possible to avoid any enlargement of the work by altering the order of subjects treated, and by stating the facts more concisely than in the previous edition. Some of the alterations in arrangement appear somewhat difficult to justify. Thus, for example, in the earlier edition the physical characters were dealt with prior to the consideration of the more purely chemical properties of the proteids, while in this edition the order is reversed. As the first edition has been already reviewed in NATURE, only a brief account of the chief additions to the second will be necessary.
