Abstract
MORE than twenty years ago M. Hoefer published a History of Chemistry, the first which had appeared since the publication of Dr. Thomas Thomson's History. M. Hoefer has since been known to us as the author of the biographies of various scientific men in the Nouvelle Biographie Generale, and of a small work entitled La chimie enseignee par la biographie de ses Fundateurs. The volume before us is one of a series which treats of universal history, and is published under the direction of M. V. Duruy. The works which it comprises are intended to be used in colleges and schools, and M. Hoofer's volume has no doubt been included, because the promoters of the series have wisely considered that the Hstory of matter, and of motion, are as worthy the attention of the rising generation as the history of languages numbers, peoples, faiths. Histoire de la Physique ct de la Chimie. Par Ferdinand Hoefer. (Paris: Hachette, 1872.)
