THE study of chemistry, apart from its scientific and 

 detailed applications, is a training in the interpretation 

 of evidence, and herein lies one of its chief merits as 

 an instrument of education. The authors of this Elementary 

 Chemistry have had this idea constantly in mind: theory and 

 practice, thought and application, are logically kept together, 

 and each generalization follows the evidence upon which it 

 rests. The application of the science to human affairs, and 

 its utility in modern life, are given their proper treatment. 



The Laboratory Manual contains directions for experi- 

 ments illustrating all the points taken up, and prepared with 

 reference to the recommendations of the Committee of Ten 

 and the College Entrance Examination Board. Each alter- 

 nate page is left blank for recording the details of the experi- 

 ment, and for writing answers to suggestive questions which 

 are introduced in connection with the work. 



The books reflect the combined knowledge and experi- 

 ence of their distinguished authors, and are equally suited 

 to the needs both of those students who intend to take a 

 more advanced course in chemical training, and of those 

 who have no thought of pursuing the study further.
