A Text-Book of Sanitary and Applied Chemistry: Or the Chemistry of Water, Air, and Food (Classic Reprint) Paperback -

From the publisher

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Sanitary and Applied Chemistry: Or the Chemistry of Water, Air, and Food Although primarily intended for use as a textbook, much scattered material is here collected from Govern ment Reports and elsewhere, so that it is believed the book will prove valuable for general information and ref erence. The difficulty of condensing, without sacrificing something in clearness, is thoroughly recognized. Some simple reactions in general and organic chemistry have, it is true, been introduced, but it is believed that they are of _a kind to be readily understood by students, with a little explanation from the instructor. It would be well to supplement the text by lectures on the topics studied and also to give time for discussions. The author believes that a practical method for teaching the subject, if a sufficient number of books of reference are at hand, is to outline topically the subject to be studied and require a preparation on those topics from the student.
