Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chemistry of Coal The literature dealing with coal and its chemical properties is of such an extent that an exhaustive record of the facts and theories contained therein would occupy volumes. All that is attempted in this monograph is to show the chief methods by which the problems of coal-constitution have been attacked, and to outline some of the more interesting results obtained. It is hoped in this way to indicate to those desirous of carrying out research work on coal and kindred substances lines along which investigation may lead to concrete conclusions. An attempt has been made to mention all the more important papers in the bibliography, as it was felt that to anyone contemplating serious research work on coals this section should be of value. The methods described in the section on analysis are those which I have found in practice to be satisfactory, and I hope that this section will prove of value to those who have occasion to examine coals from the analysts point of view.
