Two Lectures on the Development and Present, Position of Chemical Analysis, by Emission Spectra (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
How spectroscopy shaped chemical analysis and its practical power in the lab
This concise, historical guide traces the birth and growth of spectrum analysis, from early discoveries to modern instruments. It explains how scientists identified elements by light, and why spectrographs became essential for rapid, reliable results in metallurgy and chemistry.
The book frames both the history and the current practice of spectrum analysis. It covers key methods, from flame and arc to spark and vacuum discharge, and shows how instruments like quartz and uviol spectrographs reveal trace elements with speed and precision. It also discusses everyday lab routines, auxiliary apparatus, and practical considerations that have shaped analytical work in industry.
- Understand the evolution of spectrum analysis and its shifting role in chemistry and metallurgy.
- Learn how different light sources produce spectra and what each method detects.
- See how spectrographs capture and interpret spectra for quick, quantitative insights.
- Get practical context on daily lab practices, instrument choices, and reliability considerations.
Ideal for readers new to spectroscopy, technicians, and professionals who want a compact historical and practical overview of this foundational technique.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates an intriguing tale of the development of spectrum analysis, a technique that allows scientists to identify the composition of substances by examining the light they emit or absorb. After decades of limited use, it began to flourish in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author plays a key role in the revival of this field, creating new and more effective tools for spectroscopy. The book not only recounts the history of the subject but also delves into the science behind it, explaining how different elements produce distinct patterns of light. This understanding has revolutionized the fields of chemistry, metallurgy, and astronomy, enabling scientists to identify and study materials with unprecedented precision. By providing a comprehensive overview of the subject, this book serves as both a valuable reference guide and a fascinating historical account for anyone interested in spectroscopy, chemistry, or the history of science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332223404_0
