Excerpt from Select Methods in Chemical Analysis (Chiefly Inorganic) Ir will be perceived from the title of this work that the Author has not intended to provide the student with a complete text-book of analysis, but rather with a laboratory companion, containing information not usually found in ordinary works on Analysis. The Author has tested most of the new processes which have appeared during the last twelve years in the Chemical News; and as some of these have proved to be of great value, it was thought that a service would be rendered to analytical chemistry if these trustworthy methods of analysis were systematically arranged in a convenient form for laboratory use. In some instances the descriptions are given in the language of the original writer, but in all cases where the Author has improved the pro cesses, the necessary modifications have been introduced. It is strange that modern works on analysis should ignore about twenty of the elements. Even Fresenius gives only a separate form for their detection. Were investigators more in the habit of looking for the rare elements, they would no doubt turn up unexpectedly in many minerals. In the present work equal prominence is given both to the rare and to the ordinary elements. The order in which the analytical separation of the metals is carried out will be readily understood. Take, for instance, the case of capper. After giving the best method for the detection and quantitative estimation of this metal, comes a description of the processes for separating it from those metals which have been previously passed under review, as mercury, silver, and zinc; but no attention is paid to the separation of copper from such metals as lead, tin, &c., which have not previously been treated of. Under the respective headings Lead and Tin, the separation of these metals from capper is described. A complete list of separations has not been attempted. Where no process of separation or estimation is given, it may be inferred that the Author has had no experience in any but the well-known methods employed in most laboratories; and to have introduced these ordinary processes into the work simply for the sake of filling up gaps would have largely increased its bulk without adding materially to its value. To save space, the description of a process is frequently discontinued at the point where the substances under separation are brought to such a state that the concluding steps are obvious.
