Abstract

DESPITE the revision by Dr. Ridge, "Chemistry for Matriculation" still gives the impression of being old-fashioned both in content and in presentation, although it will presumably meet the rather limited demand for this type of book. The reviewer believes that no text-book of chemistry can go through several editions over many years and still retain its initial appeal ; after a time it is surely better to write a new book than to over-extend the useful life of the original.
