Excerpt from Twenty Lessons in Inorganic Chemistry: Embracing the Course of Instruction in Chemistry Required for the First Stage or Elementary Classes of the Science and Art Department
This little book has been prepared in order to ease the teacher's task of conveying, in Twenty Lessons, sound chemical instruction to their pupils, and to help the latter to get as quickly as possible over the difficulties which the study of chemistry presents. It is based upon the plan sketched out in the Science and Art Directory, which there is really little fault to find with, except, perhaps, on the ground that it expects too much from young pupils, such as are usually found attending the elementary stage of instruction. I have confined myself all but exclusively to the simple experiments traced out by Dr. Frankland. A glance at the table Of contents will show that I have gone a step further, and have added instruction in the few other non-metallic elements which are not included in the syllabus, but are, in my opinion, capable of completing the interesting relations of the natural groups which the non-metallic elements form, and thus of contributing materially to the enjoyment of the beauty and symmetry which pervades chemical science. I have made them serve, moreover, as a natural basis for conveying the all-important theoretical instruction in volume combination, and combination according to atomic proportions by weight. These additions are, however, printed in Appendices and in different type from the main portion of the text, and their study is left optional.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, composed of 20 lessons in inorganic chemistry, is an excellent primer for students desiring a sound knowledge of the subject. It is based on a plan outlined by the Science and Art Directory and begins with the study of hydrogen and oxygen, known as the composition of water. The author has taken great care to ensure that the experiments are explained with the utmost clarity and reduced to the simplest possible form, with many practical hints interwoven in the text. The theoretical explanations are based on the experiments which are described, placing them on a sound basis. The theoretical instruction in volume combination, and combination according to atomic proportions by weight, is presented in a clear and understandable manner. By using a simple form of chemical notation, which is all but generally adopted by chemists in this country and others, the author has succeeded in removing a stumbling block for many beginners. By accepting the theory of varying atomicities in the non-metallic elements treated of, the reproach of useless complication of the theoretical teaching of beginners is to a great extent removed. Overall, this book provides a solid foundation in inorganic chemistry, enabling students to acquire in a short time a sound knowledge upon which they can base more extensive knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333375034_0
