Excerpt from Exercises in Practical ChemistryThe list Of apparatus given at the outset shows what it is desirable that a student should have for the performance of the exercises, but those who have not access to a chemical laboratory, and who are unwilling to incur the expense Of providing themselves with a complete set Of apparatus from a chemical dealer, will find in the Appendix a number Of suggestions for the construction of pieces Of apparatus which can be made very cheaply.The authors have endeavoured, by repeating nearly every experiment in exact' conformity with their written description, to insure that the student who carefully follows their directions shall command success, but as they cannot but fear that many errors and omissions may, nevertheless, have escaped them, they will be grateful for any suggestions from those engaged in teaching who may make use Of their book. It is only by a large experience of the errors into which beginners are liable to fall, that the many ways Of going wrong can be dis covered and stopped.The question Of chemical nomenclature is at present in such a condition that every lecturer or writer must choose for him self the names he considers least Objectionable. The names assigned to substances in this volume are, with a few exceptions (made with a view to consistency), the same as are used in Roscoe's 'lessons in Chemistry, ' and Watts' edition of 'fownes' Manual.' The illustrations in the text have, with very few exceptions, been drawn directly on the wood from photographs, taken by one Of the authors, Of the apparatus actually used.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
