Excerpt from Inorganic Chemistry: With the Elements of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry
This volume is intended to supply a rather complete text-book on inorganic chemistry for colleges and universities, and a handy reference book for all students and teachers of chemistry. I have had in mind first an orderly and systematic treatment of the subject without reference to any teaching method. The teacher may go from chapter to chapter as his own method may require. In writing the book I have gathered information from any source within my reach, and here fully acknowledge my indebtedness to the many authors whose works I have consulted, to the dictionaries of chemistry, and to the various chemical journals. Special thanks are due to Messrs. Longmans, Green and Company for the use of Figs.5, 37, 50, and 61, taken from Newth's Chemistry, and to the Scientific American for Fig.69.
In Part I is found a general introduction to chemistry and a logical division of the subject into its principal branches.
In Part II is given such an outline of physical chemistry as is necessary to the full understanding and appreciation of the descriptive portion of the work.
In Part III theoretical chemistry is treated with more than the usual fullness. The student cannot too soon become acquainted with this branch of the subject nor study it too much. It contains the very heart of chemistry, and a knowledge of it is absolutely necessary to the intelligent study of the elements and their compounds.
In Part IV the purpose has been to treat with the fullness which it deserves every known chemical element and all the com pounds which are of commercial or of theoretical interest.
