Abstract
THE course of practical work contained in this volume follows the elementary syllabus of the Science and Art Department's examination in inorganic practical chemistry. The syllabus gives the outlines of a reasonable course of laboratory work; and therefore the present volume, like others constructed upon the same lines, has several good features. After a few introductory experiments in manipulation, and exemplifying characteristic properties of some common substances, the preparations and properties of a number of common elements and compounds are described. Following this are experiments on the action of heat, water, and acids on some familiar substances, simple quantitative experiments, and exercises in systematic analysis. The volume thus provides elementary students with an instructive course of work in practical chemistry.
