Excerpt from Organic Chemistry for Advanced Students, Vol. 1: Reactions The object of recasting the former two volumes of the Organic Chemistry for Advanced Students' in the three parts in which they now appear has been to group together allied subjects and to link them as far as possible in a consecutive form. As this entailed re-arrangement of the plates, an opportunity was afforded of bringing the subject-matter up to date, and very considerable additions have been made to the contents of the former volumes. As stated in the Original preface, the book is not intended to serve as a reference book, but to furnish a general survey of those fundamental principles which underlie the modern developments of this branch of chemistry.
