Reprint of the original, first published in 1876.

Excerpt from The Young Chemist: A Book of Laboratory Work, for Beginners The purpose of this little book is to aid in the instruction of pupils in chemistry. The method employed is the experimental or object method. Every experienced teacher has remarked the wonderful ease and pleasure with which beginners in chemistry - when they are allowed to perform experiments - grasp the facts and principles of the science. It has also been recognized that the only objections to the experimental method arise from the greater expenditure of the teacher's time, and from the cost of supplies. It is hoped that this little book removes one of these objections; and, fortunately, chemical apparatus and supplies can now be had at very low prices. The following are some of the characteristic advantages of the book - First. - The apparatus described, and the supplies called for, are of the very simplest character. Second. - The experiments are described in clear and simple language, and in direct form; the pupil can hardly fail to perform them successfully, even without special aid from the teacher.
