Synopsis

This book guides students through practical chemical laboratory work. Written in the mid-nineteenth century, it was an influential guidebook during a time when practical science education was in its relative infancy. Using everyday agricultural examples and a manageable unit structure, the author provides 43 experiment lessons that range from solution and filtration to testing for specific elements. Focusing on the interplay of theory and practical application, this book remains notable for its clarity, particularly regarding qualitative analysis and quantitative operations. It provides a unique glimpse into the history of science education and practical chemistry, while demonstrating the fundamentals of chemistry through engaging and accessible language.
