Abstract
THIS is a neat little book of easy arithmetical exercises on chemical problems which are likely to crop up in the course of laboratory work. The examples, about 650 in number, are to some extent original and partly collected from examination papers. They extend over a good deal of the physical ground more intimately connected with chemistry, and appear to be generally of a useful character. There is no attempt at theoretical instruction beyond what is absolutely necessary for setting out a question. The first four pages are given to exercises on the metric system, after which thermometers, heat, chemical equations, &c., are dealt with. The book will be very useful for students who have got a little way into the subject, but still in the position of beginners.
