The Microscopy Of Drinking Water Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Microscopy of Drinking-Water This book has a twofold purpose. It is intended primarily to serve as a guide to the water-analyst and the water-works engineer, describing the methods of microscopical examination, assisting in the identification of the common microscopic organisms found in drinking-water and interpreting the results in the light of environmental studies. Its second purpose is to stimulate a greater interest in the study of microscopic aquatic life and general limnology from the practical and economic standpoint. The work is elementary in character. Principles are stated and briefly illustrated, but no attempt is made to present even a summary of the great mass of data that has accumulated upon the subject during the last decade. The illustrations have been drawn largely from biological researches made at the laboratory of the Boston Water Works and from the reports of the Massachusetts State Board of Health. In considering them one should remember that the environmental conditions of the Massachusetts water-supplies are not universal, and that every water-supply must be studied from the standpoint of its own surroundings.

Excerpt from A Guide to the Microscopical Examination of Drinking Water: With an Appendix the of Examination of Air The author of this work cannot say with many, that the demand for the first edition has been so great as to call speedily for a second. It has, notwithstanding, enjoyed a steady sale; and if slow it is only what might be expected, when the special nature of the subject is taken into account with the little progress science had made in relation to it when the book was first published. The practical utility of the method and arrangement employed in this guide has been tested by its adoption in the Army Medical School for several years, and it has been found that, by its aid, even persons little acquainted with Micro-zoology and, Phytology have very readily arrived at the nature and name of objects they had never seen before.

Excerpt from The Microscopical Examination of Potable Water The publishers of the science series having asked the writer to prepare a monograph on the Microscopical Examination of Potable Water, I will endeavor to comply; though that a civil engi neer should be expected to prepare anything of value on a subject which has engaged the attention of the most eminent chemists and biologists is something of a surprise. Possibly, however, the fact that studies in this direction have occupied my leisure hours for a number of years, and have led to the production of a number of more or less useful papers thereon, may be to some extent an explanation; but it is sincerely hoped that the expectations of neither publishers nor readers will be raised too high.

Excerpt from Examination of Potable Water It has been held as a golden maxim by one of our authorities on water analysis, never to pass judgment upon a water the history of which is not thoroughly known. Each sample should be taken personally and its proper shipment superintended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Water-Analysis: A Practical Treatise on the Examination of Potable Water The first edition of this book was published in the spring of the year 1868. The second edition was a reprint with some additional matter contributed by Chapman. The third' edition, brought out soon after the death of Chapman, was in many respects a new book. It appeared in the spring of 1874, and has been reproduced in successive editions ever since. With the tenth edition, which is now called for, the time has arrived for revising and recasting the book so as to embody the results of a very ripe experience. In 1868, as Chapman and myself wrote in our preface, this was the first book which had been published on Water Analyst's; and our task was rendered possible by the then recent discovery of that wonderful reaction whereby albumen and albuminoid substances were made to evolve ammonia in a powerfully oxidising solution. The ammonia so generated we named Albuminoid Ammonia, and the quantity of that ammonia is the measure of the potential albumen in drinking-water. On this basis we have built up water-analysis for general sanitary purposes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
