Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exercises in Practical Chemistry The object of this volume is to furnish a systematic course of study to those who are beginning to learn Chemistry practically. The course commences with a series of exercises upon the preparation and properties of some of the most familiar substances, in which precise directions are given as to the apparatus and materials to be used, and as to the manner in which each experiment is to be made. In the earlier exercises, especially, the directions given extend to minute details; the aim of the authors being to provide, as far as possible, all the guidance that a beginner, working by himself or with only occasional supervision, may require. A few exercises have been introduced on parts of manipulation which, from their importance, it seemed desirable to treat separately; but, as a rule, each operation is described where the occasion for its use first arises: and the subjects have been so chosen as to furnish examples of all the usual chemical operations. The attempt has been made to arrange each exercise so as to provide the student with continuous occupation, and economise his time by giving two or three operations which can be carried on simultaneously and to which he should direct his attention in turn. The time required for the completion of different exercises cannot but vary considerably, since some operations, too important not to be included, do not admit of being hastened; but in most cases about two hours will be found sufficient.
