โฆ Synopsis
1\11 briinclics of chemistry arc founded upon nnnlysis, and t.lic t,ruc iinnlyst must not mcrcly content liinisclf with carrying out tlic vnrioils operations in n iiwchnnicnl m y , but must bc convcrsnnt witli the iintlcrlying thcorcticnl principlcs of his subject. Tlic nbove work is designcd to assist hiin in this respect by prcscnt.iiig tlicm in n concisc ant1 ncccssiblc forin. 'l'lic book opciis with a chapter on the tlicory iriitl tisc of tlic balaiicc, :In(! this is followed by descriptions of tlic wriow opcrntions (filtr:it,ioii, prccipitation, ctc.) cmploycd in gravimctric and rolunictric aniilysiu, both tlic ncccssary mnnipulnt ivc dct:iils a i d tlic undcrlying tlicorcticiil principles being fnllp discilsscd. A couple of c1i:iptcr.s on clcctrolpt,ic methods of nnalysis and clcctrornctric titrations concltitIe thc work. llntlicr suqxising is the totid iibscncc of any rcfcrcncc to colorimctric mctboils of iinnlysis, and irliilst in tlic scction dciiling with filtriition tlic JIunroc crucible is describcd, no nicntioii is inndc of tlic Jcnn gliiss liltcr crucible, which ciin rcplncc it sntisfactorily for niiiiip pnrposcs n t a friiction of tlic cost.
