* CHEMISTRY. 5- Periodic Law), and thus the correctness of the latter was confirmed in a very striking manner. The lurllier profjress of j;eneial chemistry has been mainly in connection with the various sub- divisions of ])hysical chemistry, liiief liistorical accounts of wliieli may he found under Re.c- Tiox; SoLiTioN; Dissoci.Tiox ; Thermochemis- try ; and Electrochemistry. See also the article L.BORATORY. Co.NCLUSiox. In conclusion, we could not do letter than emphasize, with Dr. F. W. Clarke, the necessity of systematization of chemical re- search. The birth of general scientific ideas may be beyond control: but the search of em])irical knowledge, which uuist form the basis for all generalizations, can and ought to be organized instead of being left entirely to the inclinations of individual investigators. Some organization of research has been realized at the (lennan inii- vcrsities. with splendid results; and further (U- ganization is certain to yield an even more abun- dant crop. LITERATURE. In a science whose progress is so [)benonienally rapid as that of chemistry, even the l)est books are likely, within a few years of ))ublication. to lose more or less of their original value. Xever- theless, it is safe to say that most of the follow- ing works will, in the ordinary course of events, retain their interest for a number of years to come. The list includes some of the best-known modem works on dcscrijitive. theoretical, and technical chemistrj-. More specialized works are noted in the articles on various chemical tojiics.
