AB This volume, which for a generation has occupied an important place in pharmaceutic and manufacturing chemists' libraries, has undergone a fifth revision. The previous revision was Anglo-American; consequently, the work has been a potential influence on the development of alkaloidal chemistry in this country. It is therefore regrettable that in the present revision only one American appears in the list of contributors, particularly when much of the recent additions to the text has been based on American sources.
