Abstract
THE first edition of this book on analytical chemistry appeared in 1900. In the present, second, edition there has been added a preliminary theoretical portion with the object of giving an insight into the reactions which take place during the analytical operations; this new portion gives an account of the atomic theory, the theory of solutions, and the theory of chemical equilibrium. Then follows the usual description of apparatus, reagents, and methods of manipulation. The main portion of the book is occupied by an enumeration of the reactions of the bases and acids, including the more common organic acids, and more briefly of the rare metals and alkaloids. In each case the reactions which take place are expressed by chemical equations. The book is intended to be a laboratory companion and work of reference not only for the student but also for the analytical chemist. Its value, however, for reference purposes is much lessened by the want of an index, though a full table of contents is given at the end of the volume.
