Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Plattner's Manual of Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis With the Blowpipe
Wm, at the publisher's request, after the third edition of Fumnn's blowpipe Ainnrsrs was exhausted, I undertook the revision of the present edition, it was in the belief that now, as formerly, many would desire to have at hand a complete manual upon so useful a subject. As far as possible I have confined myself to the previous labors Of my instructor, whom I can never forget, and have only added such new and approved matter as had been made known since the appearance of the third edition, because I have had ample Opportunity, during several years in which I have labored as a teacher of this branch of analysis in our Mining Academy, to convince myself of the suitable way in which the subject is classified and treated in his work.
May this fourth edition find as friendly a reception as has been extended to its predecessors.
