Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Spectrum Analysis
The claim of spectrum analysis to a place in a chemical curriculum is steadily obtaining increased recognition, and its importance is generally admitted both for students preparing for teaching, and for those who wish to engage in technological work. The subject may rightly demand a wider field because its pursuit furnishes so many opportunities for an excellent training in accuracy of observation and manipulative skill that it might, with great advantage, find place in a general science course. The expense is by no means prohibitive, and is almost entirely confined to the first cost of the instruments, which, with proper care, last for years, and even with the cheaper and smaller ones, such as Browning's Students' Spectroscope, which costs about $30, much interesting work can be done and valuable discipline obtained.
Of the works on spectrum analysis hitherto published in Eng lish, none are suitable as text-books, either on account of their Size and consequent cost, or from the manner in which the subject is presented.
It is hoped that this little book may, in some degree, supply this lack.
There has been no attempt to treat the subject exhaustively, but rather to indicate the more salient points of theory, etc., leaving it to the teacher to complete and expand them at his own discretion.
