Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to the Rarer Elements
This small volume, prepared from material used by the author in a short lecture course given at Yale University, is intended to serve as a convenient handbook in the intro ductory study of the rarer elements; that is, of those elements which are not always taken up in a general course in chemistry. No attempt has been made to, treat any part of the subject exhaustively, but enough references have been given to furnish a point of departure for the student who wishes to investigate for himself. Experimental work has been included except in the case of those elements which are unavailable, either because of their scarcity or because of the difficulty of isolating them.
