Abstract
THE volume does not differ essentially from other books on chemical arithmetic. Every teacher has his own method of presenting an arithmetical problem, which he often feels impelled to share with others. The author's methods seem thoroughly sound and logical, and no exception can be taken to them. There is a good deal to be said, too, for the plan of treating the calculations on a purely experimental basis independently of theories; but it is not always advisable to hold to it too rigidly. A good illustration is offered by the following example.
The Arithmetic of Chemistry.
