Allen's Commercial Organic Analysis

Abstract

THE issue of this volume marks the completion of a task begun some ten years ago, when the production of a revised and entirely re-written edition of Allen's welUknown work was undertaken. Ten years is a somewhat lengthy period in modern chemical history. A considerable amount of literature dealing with organic analysis has appeared during the last decade, and many new processes have been devised within this period; it was therefore desired to bring the text of the whole work, and especially of the earlier volumes, as nearly “up to date” as was practicable. This has been done in the present volume—the ninth—by means of a series of supplementary articles, written for the most part by the original contributors, and embodying any noteworthy advances in the various branches of organic chemical analysis dealt with in the eight preceding volumes.
