Abstract
ONE of the difficulties experienced by students desirous of becoming acquainted with the technical analysis of materials is that the description of the apparatus employed is scattered throughout a voluminous literature. In this little volume an account is given of the principles underlying the use of instruments such as viscosimeters, pyrometers, refractometers, colorimeters, and so on, together with a clear statement of the utility and limitations of some of the types of apparatus. The sections are concise and to the point, and the practical work is well arranged. A valuable feature is the set of questions printed at the end of each section. These have been selected to bring out the essential features of the instruments and the value of the results to be anticipated from their use. A useful appendix gives a list of materials and apparatus needed for each instrument.
