Book Description

Excerpt from Laboratory Manual of Chemistry N preparing this brief course, the authors have endeavored to select such work as will best develop the true spirit of investigation. It is not intended to present an exhaustive treatise, but rather a few of the stepping-stones over which the student of this department of nature must travel. We most thoroughly believe that the experiments selected should, as a rule, be of such a nature that the pupil can perform them. For himself. The teacher should be but the guide that points out the right path, calling attention to the by-paths of error. The work here laid out should be accompanied by some text-book. The authors have had in mind, while preparing this work, the Manual of Chemistry, by Eliot and Storer although it could be used with any other good text-book of elementary chemistry. It is our plan to require three hours' work per week in the laboratory and two in the recitation room. The experiments here given, with the necessary practice in determining unknown substances by the Key, will probably occupy the class for forty weeks. Some experiments should be indicated by the teacher for omission, if the time alloted for chemistry is too short.
