Qualitative Chemical Analysis A Guide In The Practical Study Of Chemistry And In The Work Of Analysis Second Edition Revised

Excerpt from Qualitative Chemical Analysis: A Guide in the Practical Study of Chemistry and in the Work To aid the student in gaining an accurate acquaintance with the facts whereby analyses are made, and a clear understanding of the co-ordination of these facts - the principles of analysis - has been the chief object in this work. It is the result of experience in the constant endeavor to prevent habits of automatic operation and of superficial observation in analysis. Farther, it is desired that the book may be found convenient and reliable for ref erence by chemists, pharmacists, and others, who occasionally or habitually perform analyses. The organic bases and acids, with a few exceptions, have been omitted from con sideration. This is not done from neglect, but from a conviction of their too great importance for the subordinate and cursory attention which can be given to them in works devoted mainly to inorganic analysis. To the faithful workers who have wrought out the great science of Chemistry, the writers humbly acknowledge their indebtedness for whatever of truth or value this little manual may contain.
