    and additions as seemed necessary for tlie demonstration of the latest developments of chemical principles and the latest applications of chemistry to pharmacy. About five hundi^ed new references have been added to the Index, raising the total number to nearly seven thousand. As the book has always included the chemistry of all articles officially recognised in the British Pharmacopoeiaj it has necessarily included neai-ly all the chemistry of the Pharmacopoeia of India : into the sixth edition, however, was inserted some notice of each of forty substances official in the Indian, but not in the British Pharmacopoeia. The work now includes the whole of the cbemistry both, of the British Pharmacopoeia, and of the Pharmacopoeia of India, Engravings of most of the important pieces of apparatus employed in studying chemistry experimentally have been inserted. The sixty or seventy blocks were cut by G. Pearson, Esq.; the twenty lithographs are by TufFen West, Esq. I am indebted to my assistants. Dr. Senier and Mr. Dunstan, for much valuable help in preparing the edition for the press. Dr. De Vrij has kindly revised the sections relating to alkaloids of the cinchonas. 17, Bloomsburt Square, London, October 1st, 1880.
