Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Use of the Blowpipe in Chemical Analysis, and in the Examination of Minerals I feel confident that no apology for presenting this translation to the public, nor any eulogy on the author of the original work, are at all necessary. The name of Berzelius, as a skilful and patient experimenter, stands almost unrivalled; and the present Essay amply vindicates his claim to the high reputation he has acquired. It is an invaluable collection of important and new facts, and admirably supplies the want, which has long been felt and acknowledged, of a scientific practical treatise on the blowpipe. Some explanation, however, and to the author some apology perhaps is necessary, as to certain liberties I have taken with the original. In the first place, I found the description of apparatus so very minute, that though such may be desirable in Sweden, in Britain I am sure it is not wanted, abounding as this country does in skilful artists, from whom every species of philosophical apparatus may be had, of the best workmanship and construction.
