H. Hassall's Works on Food Thirty-two years have passed away since the appearance of F ood: Its Adulterations and the Methods for their Detection.' At the suggestion of the Author of that work, it was the present writer's intention, hitherto frustrated, long ago to publish a new edition. The late Dr. A. H. Hassall had discussed with the undersigned the plan of the fresh work, when his death occurred in 1894. Many inatters, coupled with a knowledge of the existence of several then recently dated textbooks, dealing with food analysis generally, and of a cluster of handbooks on separate branches of the subject, led to a postponement of the project. The writer now at length issues his long-contemplated revision of the microscopical portions of Dr. Hassall's works and, a considerable period having elapsed since the production by other English chemists of any new general treatises on hygienic or public analysis, he hopes at no distant date to supplement this volume by another, devoted mainly to chemical, physical, and bacteriological methods of investigation, which in his own or other labora tories have been found practicable and trustworthy. Thus will be accomplished a design which for several years the Author has had in his mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
