Most of the experiments have been used for many years in the courses of beginning organic chemistry in the laboratories of the University of Michigan. They have thus been carefully checked by faculty and students-a feature which induces confidence in the character of the manual. A Manual for the Organic Chemistry Laboratory is bound in durable paper covers by means of spiral rings. It can be recommended t o all students who are required to complete a laboratory course in organic chemistry.
