Abstract
THE appearance of a new edition of this well-known book will be welcome to all analytical and other chemists. Three reagents, dihydroxy-tartaric acid osazone for calcium, phenylthiohydantoic acid for cobalt, and phenylaminobenzene-azo-benzene sulphonic acid for magnesium, have been omitted as a result of experience obtained since the last edition. Four new reagents are included for the first time: triketohydrindene hydrate for the determination of free amino-acids, 8-hydroxyquinaldine for the estimation of zinc, benzylisothiourea hydrochloride for the characterization of sulphonic acids, and p-nitro-benzene-azo-orcinol for the determination of beryllium. In addition, the whole text has been thoroughly revised and the general level of excellence and accuracy of the previous editions well maintained.
