=Cooley's Cyclopaedia of Practical Receipts=, And Collateral
Information in the Arts, Manufactures, Professions, and Trades,
including Medicine, Pharmacy, and Domestic Economy. Designed as
a Comprehensive Supplement to the Pharmacopoeia, and General
Book of Reference for the Manufacturer, Tradesman, Amateur, and
Heads of Families. _Sixth edition_. Revised and partly rewritten
by Richard V. Tuson, Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology in
the Royal Veterinary College. Complete in two volumes, 8vo,
1,796 pages. With Illustrations. Price, $9.00.
"The great characteristic of this work is its general usefulness. In
covering such diverse subjects, the very best and most recent research
seems to have been sought for, and the work is remarkable for
intelligent industry. This very complete work can, then, be highly
recommended as fulfilling to the letter what it purports to be--a
cyclopaedia of practical receipts."--_New York Times_.
"It is a well-edited special work, compiled with excellent judgment for
special purposes, which are kept constantly in mind. If it is more
comprehensive than its title suggests, that is only because it is
impossible to define the limits of its purpose with exactitude, or to
describe its contents upon a title-page. Illustrations of the text are
freely used, and the mechanical execution of the work is
excellent."--_New York Evening Post._
The Chemistry of Common Life.
By the late Professor James F. W. Johnston. A new edition,
revised and enlarged, and brought down to the Present Time, by
Arthur Herbert Church, M. A., Oxon., author of "Food: its

numerous Engravings on Wood. In one vol., 12mo, 592 pages.
Cloth. Price, $2.00.
Summary of Contents.--The Air we Breathe; the Water we Drink; the Soil
we Cultivate; the Plant we Rear; the Bread we Eat; the Beef we Cook; the
Beverages we Infuse; the Sweets we Extract; the Liquors we Ferment; the
Narcotics we Indulge in; the Poisons we Select; the Odors we Enjoy; the
Smells we Dislike; the Colors we Admire; What we Breathe and Breathe
for; What, How, and Why we Digest; the Body we Cherish; the Circulation
of Matter.
In the number and variety of striking illustrations, in the simplicity
of its style, and in the closeness and cogency of its arguments,
Professor Johnston's "Chemistry of Common Life" has as yet found no
equal among the many books of a similar character which its success
originated, and it steadily maintains its preeminence in the popular
scientific literature of the day. In preparing this edition for the
press, the editor had the opportunity of consulting Professor Johnston's
private and corrected copy of "The Chemistry of Common Life," who had,
before his death, gleaned very many fresh details, so that he was able
not only to incorporate with his revision some really valuable matter,
but to learn the kind of addition which the author contemplated.
