    THE conditions which constitute a good manual of Analytical Chemistry are so numerous, that, in composing the present work, I have found it difficult to fulfil them all. Wherefore, the main object which I have kept in view has principally been to write a book which would serve as a guide to those who, being already possessed of sufficient chemical knowledge, are desirous of entering into analytical research. The First Volume contains an exposition of the order and processes which should be adopted in qualitative analysis. I have given there the means of distinguishing those substances only which are of more frequent occurrence, partly because they are more interesting than those which are rare, but partly also and more especially because the descriptions of the processes which must be resorted to in such cases would have been a great deal too intricate and obscure, had I supposed, in the compound to be examined, the simultaneous presence of all the substances which might possibly be contained in it. Whoever is sufficiently skilled in the qualitative analysis of those bodies which are more ordinarily met with, will be able to discover without difficulty, rarer constituents, if any be present,
