Synopsis
This book sets out to be a practical guide that can be used in the field as much as in the lab for the analysis of air, soil, water, and food, with a section also on ventilation and heating. It was written by the author as they felt there was a lack of clear, concise laboratory guides that met the needs of students in practical hygiene. It is intended primarily as a companion for use alongside theoretical works and for that reason, the author has omitted subjects like food analysis and the examination of clothing, as they believed these to be too difficult and specialized for students at that time. Instead, the author has concentrated on explaining more routine methods such as potassium permanganate tests, and those for the determination of hardness, chlorin, and organic matter in water. The book has retained considerable relevance to this day as although some of the methods have since been simplified through the introduction of processes such as the Nessler process and the Wanklyn method of distillation, the underlying principles remain the same.
