Excerpt from Guide to a Course of Quantitative Chemical Analysis: Especially of Minerals and Furnacce-Products, Illustrated by Examples
The following work has been translated and is now published expressly for those students in chemistry, whose time and other studies in colleges do not permit them to enter upon the more elaborate and expensive treatises of Fresenius and other authors. It is the condensed labor of a master in chemistry and of a practical analyst. In order still more to condense the translation and to diminish the expense as much as possible, the entire part on assaying, as well as the chapter on the analysis of commercial drugs and metallurgical products, has been omitted; the former, because that does not properly belong to chemical analysis; and the latter, because the reader is generally referred to the preceding pages for a description of the analysis of the substances under consideration.
The translator has made no other changes in this work; even the old chemical equivalents have been allowed to remain unaltered, from the fact, that the results of computations in all analytical investigations are precisely the same whether the old or the new values be assigned to the different elements respectively.
The only apology, that is deemed necessary to be made in reference to the present publication, is for the want of experience and polish displayed in the typographical execution; the translator is as yet but a novice in the black art; but perfection is the aim of his aspirations, from which circumstance hopes may be entertained for something better in the future.
