Abstract
DURING the last few years the subject of science teaching in schools has occupied so much attention that a special class of manuals has been originated for the schoolmaster's use. Those which treat of Chemistry have been in some cases experiments, seldom remarkable for true appreciation of their professed purpose, or, perhaps, merely the pecuniary speculation of an ignorant-writer. Under such circumstances, it is gratifying to meet with a book of this kind, which really is what it was intended to be-“a sufficient manual of chemistry for schools and junior students, and an aid to teachers wishing to introduce the science into the ordinary course of school study.”
Chemistry for Schools.—An Introduction to the Practical Study of Chemistry.
