Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Chemical Analysis, Qualitative and Quantitative, for the Use of Students
This work is offered as a Manual of Experimental Chemistry for the use of beginners. The author has two classes of readers particularly in View, namely, Students attending Lectures or Lessons on Chemistry, and Schoolmasters who desire to teach the Elements of Chemistry, in Popular Lectures or Experimental Lessons. Both of these classes of readers will find useful information in the following pages. The author has endeavoured to elucidate most effectively those subjects which urgently demand the notice of beginners. Thus, he has given ample accounts Of Air, Water, Earths, Acids, Useful Metals, and Common Salts, while subjects Of less importance are passed unnoticed.
The experiments selected to illustrate the subjects fixed upon are striking and convincing, and' such as can be performed with facility and economy. The precautions necessary to insure success and safety are detailed; and, as far as possible, the experiments are exhibited by means of numerous figures of apparatus, many of which represent new and simplified instruments, specially intended to aid the researches of young chemists. This is particularly the case with apparatus adapted to micro-chemistry, or the art Of experimenting on minute quantities. But, independently of the course of easy experiments, another series has been introduced, to explain the methods by which the most important facts Of the science are demonstrated with precision.
