ResumoTHE present volume is the third edition of a dictionary of commercial articles, produced in all the various branches of applied chemistry—in the widest sense of the term—ranging from such natural products as minerals and metals, fruits and seeds, oils and fats, through all the branches of applied chemistry upward to the most refined chemical, pharmaceutical, and alimentary preparations. Each article represents a concise monograph on the subject of which it treats. In addition to the Italian synonyms, the French, German, English, and Spanish equivalents are given. Each monograph details the origin, the description, and preparation for the market of the article; it describes the commercial qualities, characters, properties, composition, the adulterants frequently found therein, the most characteristic tests for purity, and the uses of each article. Then follow statistical data, information about market values, and, finally, data concerning specifically Italian conditions, such as import duties and imposts, and references to the Italian pharmacopœia.
