the preparation of some of the most important gases, acids, and bases, and the study of 
their properties and characteristic reactions; the characters and tests of the most 
important chemical substances used in pharmacy, and the methods of ascertaining their 
strength; the tests for poisons, organic and inorganic; the mode of separation of the 
groups of elementary bodies, forming the groundwork of qualitative and quantitative 
analysis. Each student will make the experiments separately. 
3. Botany. —Prof. W. C. Williamson, F.R S. Wednesday, from 7.30 to 8.30 p.m.
