Excerpt from A Short Text-Book of Inorganic Chemistry

Although the number of short Text books of Inorganic Chemistry is large, it is hoped that this little book will supply a definite want among teachers and students, corresponding to that which the Editor has himself felt.

The principles which have guided the Author in writing the book are fully stated in his Preface, and with these the Editor entirely concurs , but in adapting the book for English students certain alterations and additions were necessary, and to these the Author has given his full consent

The whole book has been carefully revised throughout, and the physical constants brought up to date. Considerable additions have been made to the descriptions of water, atmospheric air, coal, iron, &c., Short accounts of Gay-Lussac's law, Avogadro's law, and the manufacture of coal-gas have also been introduced into the text.
