PREFACE.
An attempt has been made in the following pages to collect the titles of the principal books on Chemistry published in Europe and America from the rise of the literature to the close of the year 1892. The term Chemistry is taken in its fullest significance, and the Bibliography will be found to contain books in every department of chemical literature, pure and applied ; the range of topics will be seen in the Subject-Index and their distribution in the Table at page xi. The Bibliography is confined, however, to independent works and their translations, and does not, as a rule, include Academic Dissertations (which are so numerous as to require a special catalogue), nor so-called " reprints " or " separates " (Separat- Abdriicke) ; of the latter only a few score are ordinarily printed and they must be regarded as belonging to periodicals. No attempt has been ma(Je to index the voluminous literature of periodicals except in the Section ol Biography as noted below. Full bibliographical details have been given whenever possible, but the necessity of transcribing titles from catalogues of many degrees and varieties of imperfection has caused inequality in the fulness of the titles ; a considerable number of books have been personally examined, these are indicated by adding the pagination, and for these alone can the compiler be wholly responsible.
To facilitate reference the work is divided into seven Sections :
