Abstract
IT must be something like twenty years since Mr. E, J. Lewis achieved fame as the author of an inorganic chemistty, which differed widely in character from most of the text-books that had been written previously. Mr. Lewis's book was specially designed for the needs of boys coming over from the classical side, who did not need to acquire a professional knowledge of the subject, but were expected to secure some measure of scientific culture from its study. His book proved, however, to be of wider value, in that its broad and philosophic treatment made it a suitable revision book for many students who had taken an elementary course, but without acquiring the fuller knowledge of the foundations of his faith, which one looks for in a university worker.
