Excerpt from Introduction to Practical Chemistry for Medical, Dental, and General Students Specially Adapted to Meet the Requirements of the Conjoint Boards Examination of the Royal Colleges, of Physicians and Surgeons, but Suitable for General, Use in Schools and For One has been accustomed to hear reproach flung at the teaching of Practical Chemistry that the student often carries out his analysis as a routine, and rarely seems to appreciate that the subject should be studied closely in connexion with his theoretical work, in the assimilation of which it should be of great assistance. After nearly seventeen years experience in teaching medical students, the author has come to the conclusion that an elementary practical book should contain more complete explanations than are usually given, and that the work should be taken in the same order, and in some respects more closely correlated to the theoretical part of the science than is generally the case. The author is of the opinion that Chemical Analysis, carried out intelligently and coupled with the writing of equations expressing the positive reactions, is of considerable educational value. The present manual has been designed to thoroughly cover the requirements of candidates preparing for the examination of the Conjoint Boards of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, but it is believed that the work will supply what is required by Science and Higher Grade Schools as well as by the private student. The theoretical portions will perhaps be found more complete and systematic than usual, which it is hoped will prove advantageous. The Lists of Common Compounds of the respective Metals given opposite each Summary of Tests is a novelty which should be found useful.
