Quantitative Chemical Analysis

THIS is a very carefully written and good introduction to quantitative analysis by teachers who have evidently had much experience in presenting the subject to students, and have the ability to write a clear and concise account of all the details of the laboratory work which are essential to success. It includes both volumetric and gravimetric analysis, and the examples chosen are very good. The main emphasis is practical; the chief fault of many books, that of writing an elementary treatise on physical chemistry interspersed with a few practical exercises which are generally quite inadequately described, is avoided. The relevant theory is always given, but in its proper proportion, and the result is a very good practical manual which will make easier the work of teachers who adopt it.
