PREFACE THE object of this work is to furnish a text-book upon applied chemistry that is suitable for use by those students who have had a course in general chemistry, such as is usually completed in a good high school or in the earlier years of a college course. The particular phase of applied chemistry treated is that which pertains to the daily life of the household, but the subjects considered do not by any means cover the whole field of what might be called chemistry applied to daily life, but only the most important topics. Although primarily intended for use as a text-book, much scattered material is here collected from Government Reports and elsewhere, so that it is believed the book will prove valuable for general information and reference. 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. It has been the intention of the author to introduce 155337 |
