Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of General Chemistry for Use in Colleges When the course extends over two terms, as at the University of California, a satisfactory division is to take Sections I to III in the first term, though in some cases it may be possible also to begin the first Assignment on Qualitative Analysis. It is recommended that the Assignments in the last two Sections be taken in the order noted in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of General Chemistry A special chapter has been introduced for the study of negative radicals. A differentiation is here made between the reactions of a few special reagents upon compounds before and after heating. Finally, the highly objectionable method of recording in the laboratory those observations which are only to be trans ferred later to a so-called notebook is now eliminated. A student who but once engaged in this indefensible practice is far too prone in later years to record weighings and other data on scraps of paper. When such useless records seem to attain a reasonable degree of satisfaction to his untrained mind he may actually transfer them to a more desirable location, but neither to the credit of the location nor the student. This manual is so constructed that all questions under each heading are consecutively numbered. These same numbers appear also upon the opposite or blank pages and indicate positions for the records. Upon the form and accuracy of these records the student himself must expect the proper estimate of his scientific ability. For the interest and care with which the manuscript has been read by Professor William G. Smeaton of this laboratory and for his many valuable suggestions the author wishes to express his gratitude and appreciation.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
