    Reply to a Notice of Messrs. Wiley & Putnam, publishers of the unauthorized reprint of the Second Part of Professor Liebig's Report on Organic Chemistry, published in the Bos- ton Daily Advertiser, of August 16, and in other neivspapers. The First Part of Professor Liebig's Report on Organic Chemistry, drawn up at the request of the British Association, lias passed to a third edition in this country, having been pub- lished by Mr. John Owen, of Cambridge. That the publisher of the First Part of this Report would make arrangements for publishing the Second, namely, the Animal Chemistry, was to be expected, both by the trade and the public. From the care bestowed upon the republication of the First Part, the author and translator were desirous that the Second should appear from the same press, under the supervision of the editor of the first, and arrangements were accordingly made. The arrangements, and the wishes of the translator and author were duly announced, in the Boston Medical Journal, in the newspapers, and by a circular of the editor. In April, Messrs. Carey and Hart, of Philadelphia, announced their intention of republishing the new work of Professor Liebig. On being informed of the wishes of the author and translator, they, at once, courteously relinquished their undertaking. Regardless of the usages of the trade, and of the published wishes of the author and translator, Messrs. Wiley and Putnam, of New York, with all possible despatch, republished the work, from a London copy, with all the errors of the London press, and others in addition. The editor, to whom the care of the republication in this country had been committed by Dr. Gregory, deemed it his duty to make known the fact, that the New York reprint was in correct. / °M-
