Excerpt from A Systematic Handbook of Volumetric Analysis, or the Quantitative Estimation of Chemical Substances by Measure, Applied to Liquids, Solids, and Gases: Adapted to the Requirements of Pure Chemical Research, Pathological Chemistry, Pharmacy, Metallurgy, Manufacturing, Chemistry, Photography, Etc., And for the Valuation of Substances Used in Commerce, Agriculture, and the Arts

The five years which have elapsed since the publication of the second edition of this work, have resulted in the production of some new methods in Volumetric Analysis, together with the verification and improvement of those previously in use. I have endeavoured to embody in the present edition all such novelties and modifications as experiment have proved to be worthy of notice.

The book has been out of print nearly two years, owing to lack of time and the pressure of other matters, so that the necessary experiments for verification of results could not be carried out. I regret that there is still much to be done in the minute examination of individual processes, for it is only by careful detailed investigation of methods that their merits or demerits can be established.

The important sections on the Analysis of Potable Waters and Sewage, 76, 77, 78, originally contributed to the second edition by Mr. W. Thorp, B.se., late principal assistant chemist to the Royal Commission on the Pollution of Rivers, have been thoroughly revised, and considerably augmented, by that gentleman.
