Excerpt from The Elements of Stereochemistry Grundriss der Stereochemie, from the enlarged French translation of Guye and Gautier, was undertaken in the hope that a small handbook dealing more particularly with the important stereochemistry of the compounds of nitrogen, would be acceptable to English readers. This translation has been made, not only from the French edition, but the original German work has also been freely used, and the translator has had the advantage of the personal advice of Prof. Hantzsch, to whom he wishes to express his sincere thanks.
