Author Description

Excerpt from Handbook of Chemistry: Theoretical, Practical, and Technical The Authors, after having received their chemical education in my laboratory, officiated for some years as my assistants, and I have had ample opportunities of witnessing their talents for imparting informa tion, and smoothing the path of the Student, in every department of analysis. The present volume is a synopsis of their experience in laboratory teaching; it gives the necessary instruction in chemical manipulation, a concise account of general chemistry, as far as it is involved in the operations of the laboratory, and lastly, qualitative and quantitative analysis. The plan adopted in the instructions for analysis is essentially that which was first introduced by Baron Liebig, and which, modified in accordance with the progress of science, and with the special requirements of the English student, I have daily practised myself, for the last eight years, in this laboratory.
