Excerpt from Laboratory Manual, Arranged to Accompany: Second Edition of a CourseFrom an educational point of view, chemistry is really the oldest of the experimental sciences. The problem as to what laboratory work should constitute the first year's course is therefore one to which a great deal of thought has been devoted, and many educational experiments have been made in an endeavor to solve it. Much ingenuity has been exercised in the development of suitable laboratory experiments and in the invention of simple apparatus adapted to a beginner's inexperience, and a great wealth of admirable illustrative experiments is now at the command of every teacher.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
