Abstract
THE first of these books is an abridgement of Prof. Clowes' text-book on qualitative analysis, adapted for use in the laboratories of schools and colleges. For the most part, the book is like a host of others of the same kind. It differs from many of them, however, in the fact that the first fifty pages is devoted to instructions on the preparation of apparatus, to experiments illustrating the preparation and properties of certain gases and liquids, to descriptions of analytical operations, and directions for the performance of ordinary processes of chemical manipulation. Work of this character forms by far the best introduction to a course of practical chemistry, and it has an educational value, which is more than can be said for mere test-tubing. On account of this and one or two other notable features, the book will probably take a permanent place among laboratory guides.
