Abstract
THE aim and the plan of this little book clearly mark it out among the numerous small treatises on practical chemistry which flow in such a steady stream from the press. The aim is to teach a beginner in chemistry the leading principles of the science by a graduated course of experiments which he is himself to perform; the plan is to begin with the fundamental differences between chemical and mechanical action, and to lead the experimentalist on to the laws of definite proportion, and of general chemical action. Quantitative experiments are introduced at an early part of the course; those chosen seem to be well suited for the fulfilment of the author's aim, being fairly easily conducted, and at the same time definite and trustworthy in their results.
