Abstract

AFTER the almost infinite number of books, mostly small, “and mostly to meet certain requirements of our own students” on qualitative analysis, it is a relief to meet with a small book for students—beginners—on quantitative analysis, written evidently for beginners, and in a manner to really lead them up from qualitative notions, not by one great bound, but by good sober practice and order, to the appreciation of the care and exactitude, and most important still, the “criticising” state of mind necessary to make a real analytical chemist.

A Course of Quantitative Analysis for Students.

By W. N. Hartley (London: Macmillan and Co., 1887.)
