Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laboratory Exercises in Chemistry This book is a Laboratory Guide for beginners in chemistry, and something more. Part I is the common ground over which beginners must travel. It has been many times worked over with reference to clearness of instructions; concentration of attention upon the essential thing by avoiding complicated and distracting apparatus; the elimination of dangerous or seriously irritating experiments; economy in chemicals; relation to subsequent work. It is thought especially adapted to conditions which are quite prevalent - the necessity of economy in supplies and teaching force. The numerous references are essential and call the pupils attention to intersection of properties. Part II contains the arithmetical guide, absolutely necessary in some form for everything beyond the most elementary stage. It tries to draw a careful distinction between those computations which are original in their nature and those which merely utilize accumulated facts. If the pupil can solve the limited number of diverse illustrative problems given, he will probably have no difficulty in the practical cases which will arise. If the teacher prefers, he can easily multiply the simpler problems. It should be remembered that here arithmetic is a means, not an end. Part III contains a series of quantitative experiments, which illustrate fundamental principles. They are fairly accurate and do not require complicated or costly apparatus, nor anything outside of the rather familiar forms. It has been thought best to give full working directions, but to leave explanations for the pupils thought with the guidance of the teacher.
