CHEEVER. — Select Methods in Inorganic Quantitative Analysis, By 

 Byron W. Cheever, A.M., M.D., late Acting Professor of Metal- 

 lurgy in the University of Michigan. Revised and enlarged by Frank 

 Clemes Smith, Professor of Geology, Mining and Metallurgy in the 

 State School of Mines, Rapid City, S. D. Parts I. and II. Third 

 ■ edition. i2mo. $1.75. 



The first part of this book, as indicated by the title, consists of Laboratory Notes 

 for a Beginner's Course in Quantitaiive Analysjis. It considers the subjects of 

 Gravimetric and Volumetric Analysis, for beginners, by means of the chemical 

 analysis of a sei of substances properly numbered, in each case giving the methods 

 to be followed in such analysis; also the methods for calculatin-i and preparing 

 volumetric standard solutions, generally following the course offered by Frofessor 

 Cheever to his students. It also considers the methods for the determination of the 

 specific tiravitieif of various liquids and solids. 



Although a number of the analyses contained in Part I. may be of only approxi- 

 mate accuracy, and ol small commercial value such are yet inclu<led with a special 

 pur|)Ose, to wit : — that they may supply the student with a wider range of work and a 

 grt-ater diversity of chemical manipulation. This was Professor Cheever's idea, 

 and ii i-i certainly a good one, especially since, in most cases, the work of the -egin- 

 ner simply serves to emphasize the necessity of careful scrutiny of details and 

 methods for practical work in the future. 



Part I. is offered, then, for the use of schools and colleges, and it is intended to 

 supply a source of elementary information upon the subject of Quantitative Chemi- 

 cal Analysis rarely ottered in such form in works upon that subject — Preface 



The author was for many years Professor of Metallurgy in the University of 

 Michigan, and the methods here presented are those mo-itiy ottered by him to his 

 students. As a beginner's book in quantitative analysis, it will be found eminently 

 practical, and it can be honestly recommeu'le'* to the student who desires a source 

 of elementary information upon this branch of applied science. The book is divided 

 into two parts, the first consisting of laboratory notes for beginners. The subjects 

 ot gravi:netric and vol:nneiric analysis are considered by means of the chemiial 

 analysis of a set of substances, properly numbered, in each case giving the methods 

 to be followed in such analysis, and also the methods of calculating and preparing 

 volumetric standard soluticns, etc. Methods for the determination of specific 

 gravities of various liquids and solids are also consider ed. 



Part II. contains a number of select methods in inorganic quantitative analysis, 

 such as the analysis of limestone, iron ores manganese ores, steel, the analysis of 

 coal, water, mineral phosphates, smelting ores, lead' slags, copper arsenic, bismuth, 

 etc. A chapter on reagents concludes the wgrk.— i'/iarmactfiWical ^ra.
