Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of Chemistry for Beginners: An Appendix to the Author's Text-Book of Organic Chemistry
IT is admitted universally that chemistry cannot be learnt by the study of text-books only, and that laboratory practice is essential. A student new to the science derives most benefit from a laboratory course of inorganic preparations, simple quantitative experiments, and qualitative inorganic analysis. He is brought thus into contact with work closely connected with the text-books and lectures on this division of chemistry, and is enabled to understand the subject much better than by any other method. A student beginning the study of organic chemistry usually has to content himself with text-books and lectures, and very seldom has the opportunity of handling the compounds about which he has to read. There is, evidently, therefore, a lack in the methods of teaching the elements of organic chemistry adopted in the Universities.
