The Scientific American Cyclopedia of Receipts, Notes and Queries was first published in the autumn of 1891. It was well received by the press, came quickly into the favor of purchasers and has had an unprecedented sale. It has been used by chemists, technologists, and those unfamiliar with the arts, with equal success, and has demonstrated that it is a book which is useful in the laboratory, factory or home. It consists of a careful compilation of the most useful receipts, and information germane to the scope of the book, which have appeared in The Scientific American for more than half a century. The Publishers now take pleasure in offering the Sixteenth Revised Edition, which has been brought up to the latest requirements by the insertion of 900 new formulæ, making it the latest and most complete volume on the subject of receipts ever presented. Over 15,000 selected formulæ are here collected, nearly every branch of the useful arts being represented. Many of the principal substances and raw materials used in the arts are described, and almost every inquiry relating to formulæ will be found answered. It is more than a receipt book, as in most cases it gives all the standard and special formulæ, thus enabling the reader to find a receipt which fits his peculiar need. An alphabetical arrangement with abundant cross references makes it an easy work to consult. Those who are engaged in any branch of industry will find this book of the greatest practical value, and we especially commend it to those who are in search of an independent business, as they will find many formulæ for the manufacture of salable articles which will be worth many times the cost of the book. The Appendix contains the very latest formulæ as well as 41 tables of weights and measures, and a dictionary of chemical synonyms.
