Book excerpt: Excerpt from A System of Instruction in Quantitative Chemical Analysis: From the Last Whatever has been proposed, either in this country or on the Continent, to facilitate the path of analysis, has been tested, and, when found sound and practical, has been introduced in the proper place. Every doubtful point has been rigidly subjected to repeated experiments, errors corrected and faults amended, and many new processes added from the Author's ample experience in his own laboratory." Among the additions there introduced, the volumetrical methods of determining the constituents of commercial articles were pointed out as particularly important for economizing time, and assisting in every way the practical chemist. The entire work has been re-cast, considerably simplified, and almost re-written. New matter has been introduced to the extent of one-fourth of the whole volume. Many of the processes the best then known, but rendered obsolete by the progress of the science - have been replaced by others more certain, simple, and efficient; and this is particularly the case with the volumetrical processes. Among other changes, I may specify the analytical processes for clays, soils, cast iron, atmospheric air, and lead ores. This work on Quantitative Analysis, although in itself complete, may be regarded as a sequel to the Author's Qualitative Analysis - a work which has been found of the highest value - nay, almost indispensable - to the student of chemistry, whatever other books on the subject he may possess. As a guide to Analytical Chemistry, the merits of the present volume are of the highest order. The arrangement is simple, methodical, and consecutive; the theoretical explanations are appropriate, clear, and intelligible; the language plain, and the directness and honesty of purpose, together with the just appreciation of the labors of others displayed throughout, must commend it to every one engaged in studying, teaching, or practising Chemistry; and I have great pleasure in being the medium of presenting it to the English public.
