Abstract

(1) THIS little volume presents in some respects an original method of treating practical chemistry. After the usual preliminary description of the wash-bottle and its applications, etc., a series of above one hundred little qualitative and quantitative experiments are introduced, the interpretation of which the student is expected to supply. These are excellent so far as they go, but an occasional grouping of the observed phenomena might have been introduced with advantage as a sort of sign-post to the student. The usual tables are, however, postponed until the student is conversant with “identifications” by the dry way. After a very full account of qualitative analysis by the wet way, which includes tests for the rare metals, a section is devoted to preparations of pure substances and to gravimetric and volumetric analysis. The book is, in short, a very useful compendium of practical inorganic chemistry, and for those who intend to become professional chemists it may be unreservedly recommended.
