Elementary Manual of Chemistry
By F.H. STORER, S.B., A.M., and W.B. LINDSAY, A.B., B.S.
Cloth, 12mo, 453 pages. Illustrated. Price, $1.20
This work is the lineal descendant of the "Manual of Inorganic Chemistry" of Eliot and Storer, and the "Elementary Manual of Chemistry" of Eliot, Storer and Nichols. It is in fact the last named book thoroughly revised, rewritten and enlarged to represent the present condition of chemical knowledge and to meet the demands of American teachers for a class book on Chemistry, at once scientific in statement and clear in method.
The purpose of the book is to facilitate the study and teaching of Chemistry by the experimental and inductive method. It presents the leading facts and theories of the science in such simple and concise manner that they can be readily understood and applied by the student. The book is equally valuable in the class-room and the laboratory. The instructor will find in it the essentials of chemical science developed in easy and appropriate sequence, its facts and generalizations expressed accurately and scientifically as well as clearly, forcibly and elegantly.
"It is safe to say that no text-book has exerted so wide an influence on the study of chemistry in this country as this work, originally written by Eliot and Storer. Its distinguished authors were leaders in teaching Chemistry as a means of mental training in general education, and in organizing and perfecting a system of instructing students in large classes by the experimental method. As revised and improved by Professor Nichols, it continued to give the highest satisfaction in our best schools and colleges. After the death of Professor Nichols, when it became necessary to revise the work again, Professor Lindsay, of Dickinson College, was selected to assist Dr. Storer in the work. The present edition has been entirely rewritten by them, following throughout the same plan and arrangement of the previous editions, which have been so highly approved by a generation of scholars and teachers.
"If a book, like an individual, has a history, certainly the record of this one, covering a period of nearly thirty years, is of the highest and most honorable character."—From The American Journal of Science.
