Abstract
This little book is evidently intended as a sort of mutual companion of the teacher and student, and is for beginners only, as the author inform us. It is, however, a mixture of elementary and somewhat advanced information, on the, subject, and certainly would be somewhat difficult for a beginner to be left alone with. The book is well supplied with questions for the student to attempt, and also with suggestions to the teacher as to where questions may be with advantage put. Most of the substances known as elements are mentioned, and their properties to some extent described, even including the so-called rare metals. A chart of “The Natural Classification of the Elements,” according to “Mendelejeff,” and an appendix on reagents is also included.
Elements of Inorganic Chemistry.
