Abstract
IN no branch of chemistry, perhaps, has more useful progress been made of late years than in analysis. The other departments of the science, technical and organic chemistry, for instance, have been cultivated with assiduity and even ostentation; while the study of analysis, invaluable and necessary as it is, has been comparatively neglected as humble and unadorned. Much of this apathy has no doubt arisen from the mechanical nature of the task of analytical discovery, which commonly requires a greater share of industry than intellectual effort. The gradual introduction of refined physical methods has, however, commenced, and will no doubt complete an entire change in the aspect of this subject.
