Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Organic Chemistry IN the writing of text-books of Organic 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. The 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.

Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Organic Chemistry As a teacher of organic chemistry, I have felt the want of a small book on the subject. There is no lack of dictionaries and encyclopaedic works on organic chemistry, but they are too large for use in a college course. The few shorter English text-books are not, so far as my experience goes, well suited for teaching. The following work, which has met with remarkable suc cess in Germany, and which the author, Prof. Pinner, has kindly given me permission to translate, is founded on the system of teaching developed by the distinguished chemist Prof. A. W. Hofmann, of Berlin, and in some cases follows his lectures quite closely. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Biological Chemistry IN the following pages no attempt has been made to deal with more than one part of the study of biological chemistry - namely, that concerned with the structure of materials of which the bodies of living objects are composed. In many parts this book does not differ markedly from an elementary text - book on organic chemistry. Certain subjects, however - such as, for example, the aromatic derivatives - have been dealt with very brie y, whereas the treatment of other subjects - such as the carbohydrates and proteins, which are of great importance to the physiologist - has been expanded beyond the limits which are usual in an elemen tary text-book. Furthermore, an attempt has been made to indicate the methods by means of which the branch of chemical science known as organic chemistry may be applied to biological research. It is hoped that a book in this form may, when the study of it is supplemented by practical exercises carried out in the laboratory, prove of use to students of medicine and of biology generally.
