Organic Chemistry
No TL;DR found
Abstract
DR. TAYLOR has established a reputation as a writer both of text–books and more popular works on science, end he is thus able to put a little more feeling into his descriptive organic chemistry than is customary—some of the compounds seem to have life and uses and to be something more than colourless crystalline compounds having the formulas indicated. It is a task to get all organic chemistry into 500 pages; the same number of specialized monographs would scarcely do it. Yet something has to be provided to enable the student to beat the examiner. The book has a biological bias as is to–day proper: it contains the essential significant facts about the commoner organic compounds, the presentation is clear and we have no hesitation in recommending it as in many ways superior to its competitors.Organic ChemistryDr.F.
