lawns, yards,
orchards, streets, borders and parks afford a most favorable and
fruitful field for the purposes of such study. They are real objects of
nature, easily accessible, and of such a character as to admit of being
studied at all seasons and in all localities. Besides, the subject is
one of general and increasing interest, and one that can be taught
successfully by those who have had no regular scientific training.

STORER AND LINDSAY'S

~Elementary Manual of Chemistry~

By F.H. STORER, S.B., A.M., and W.B. LINDSAY, A.B., B.S.

Cloth, 12mo, 453 pages. Illustrated. Price, $1.20

This work is the lineal descendant of the "Manual of Inorganic
Chemistry" of Eliot and Storer, and the "Elementary Manual of Chemistry"
of Eliot, Storer and Nichols. It is in fact the last named book
thoroughly revised, rewritten and enlarged to represent the present
condition of chemical knowledge and to meet the demands of American
teachers for a class book on Chemistry, at once scientific in statement
and clear in method.

The purpose of the book is to facilitate the study and teaching of
Chemistry by the experimental and inductive method. It presents the
leading facts and theories of the science in such simple and concise
manner that they can be readily understood and applied by the student.
The book is equally valuable in the class-room and the laboratory. The
instructor will find in it the essentials of chemical science developed
in easy and appropriate sequence, its facts and generalizations
expressed accurately and scientifically as well as clearly, forcibly and
elegantly.

"It is safe to say that no text-book has exerted so wide an
influence on the study of chemistry in this country as this work,
originally written by Eliot and Storer. Its distinguished authors
were leaders in teaching Chemistry as a means of mental training in
general education, and in organizing and perfecting a system of
instructing students in large classes by the experimental method.
As revised and improved by Professor Nichols, it continued to give
the highest satisfaction in our best schools and colleges. After
the death of Professor Nichols, when it becam
