Excerpt from Senior Practical Chemistry This little book provides a course of experimental work which is designed to meet the requirements of the Senior Cambridge Local Examination in Practical Chemistry. It is divided into three parts. In Part I., Chapter I., a number of carefully selected preparations are described, with full working details and diagrams (where necessary); in Chapter II. the action of heat on some typical substances is investigated. Part II. deals with Quantitative Analysis, Chapter I. consisting of a selection of simple experiments mainly gravimetric, whilst Chapter II. contains an elementary treatment of Volumetric Analysis. Part III. is concerned with the Qualitative Analysis of Simple Salts. The syllabus of the Examination, however, states that alternative questions will be set, so that a candidate may avoid the Qualitative Analysis altogether if he wishes. No apologies are needed for writing a text-book to a particular syllabus provided it is a good syllabus. As this condition is certainly satisfied the author hopes that the book will be found useful by a wider range of students than those for whom he is ostensibly writing. We have to thank the Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office, and also Messrs. Macmillan and Co. for their kind permission to include in this book the Tables of Logarithms and Antilogarithms published in "Examinations in Science and Technology."
