Excerpt from Practical Chemistry A textbook intended for the first year of chemistry should meet certain requirements. Both pupil and teacher must be considered. The pupil needs a book which is written plainly, illustrated fully, and applied practically; which stimulates interest in chemistry. And which can be studied profitably. The teacher needs a book in which the text is carefully selected, judiciously apportioned, and properly arranged; which provides teaching material, and which can be taught successfully. The author believes his practical chemistry meets these requirements. The text includes the facts and principles suitable for beginners. N 0 important topic has been omitted. The selection is varied. Ner mitting the use of the book in different kinds of classes. The topics suggested by the College Entrance Examination Board and the Board of Regents (new York) have been incorporated. The style and arrangement are clear short sentences, brief para graphs, explanatory examples, lettered subdivisions numbered sec tions, instructive topical headings. Unusual care has been taken to write clearly such topics as symbols, formulas, equations, atomic weights, molecular weights, and valence.

Excerpt from The Student's Practical Chemistry: A Text-Book on Chemical Physics and Inorganic and Organic Chemistry The authors of the following pages have made it their object to produce a book of practical use to the student, by furnishing him with clear and simple 'explanations of the subject; and to those more pro ficient in scientific learning, by giving them in small compass, convenient memoranda of important facts, numbers, references, etc. The effort has also been made to embody all the valuable novelties in the branches discussed (many of Which have not yet been introduced in any text-book), and thus to bring this Work down to the present time.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Practical Chemistry This work is an attempt to place in the student's hands a Manual of Practical Chemistry which shall be a reference book in a convenient form. Though not claiming in any way to be a specialist's book, it does aim at giving the student a thorough knowledge of general methods, so that he will be in a position to proceed to specialist work without difficulty. The scope of the book does not allow of the inclusion of any very advanced work in Physical Chemistry; it indicates the basic lines along which the student may proceed and prepares him for seeking inspiration from the advanced theoretical text-books. No great claim to originality is put forward, but a whole-hearted attempt has been made to indicate the best methods of doing everything. To this end a large number of original papers have been consulted, in addition to most of the text-books quoted in the literature of each branch, and the authors have also drawn on twelve years of teaching experience and their own experimental work. It is believed that every source of special information has been acknowledged in the text. The authors' thanks are due to Mr. J. S. Firth, B.Sc., for kindly reading through a large part of the MSS.; to Messrs. Clowes and Coleman for permission to make stereo-plates of the logarithm and atomic weight tables in their "Quantitative Analysis"; to Messrs. J. J. Griffin and A. Gallenkamp for permission to make sketches from diagrams of apparatus in their catalogues, and to the publishers for kindly help and advice throughout. It is too much to hope that the first edition of a work of this kind will be free from errors, and the authors will be grateful for their attention being called to any which may have occurred.
