    edition has necessitated a greater revision of this woric than has been the case ,v.th any former edition, and the task of preparing an entirely new work would have been no greater. Considerable changes have been made in the general arrangement of subjects; a number of entirely new chapters have been added in the consideration of subjects not even alluded to in former editions • addi tions have also been made to the text of nearly every chapter^ some of the latter being far in excess of the original text. The number of illustrations has been greatly increased, and the new matter now inserted has brought the work fully up to the time of its publication. Obsolete theories and processes, together with unimportant details, have been omitted and more useful matter substituted.
