Excerpt from Alphabetical Manual of Blowpipe Analysis: Showing All Known Methods Old and New
Your highness, - In availing myself of Your Highness's gracious permission to inscribe to you these humble fruits of twenty years' study, I em anxious to show that such a, daring ambition is not so utterly un worthy of its great object as it may seem to those Who have not investigated the almost untrodden paths of this comparatively new science.
The Chemical Blowpipe is a legacy left to the Wiser nations of Europe by the Swedes, whose work in the matter died With Berzelius at Stock holm in I 84 5. It is an instrument Which with ap paratus costs only a few shillings, and is therefore available to the humblest workman. Treated With the consideration due to its modest excellence, it teaches us the proportional combinations (or chemis try) of inorganic substances in fusion by a direct source of heat just as ordinary chemistry consists in a knowledge of the molecular proportions in Which substances contained in water-solutions of acids or alkalies, or of both, combine to form other definite substances or salts.
