Excerpt from Victor Text-Book Richter's Organic Chemistry, Vol. 2 In the preparation of the second volume of von Richter's organic chemistry Professor Anschutz availed himself of the services of all his colleagues who were especially interested in the experimental development of the chapters considered in the present text, so that the reader may rely upon its statements, which the translator has conscientiously striven to give a simple and correct English rendering. The preparation of the index to this volume is due to the patient and painstaking efforts of Messrs. Walter T. Taggart, Owen L. Shinn, and J. Bird Moyer, to whom the translator would here acknowledge his deep obligations for the. Material aid thus given him in completing a work which has extended over a period of three years.
