    Vll These processes are selected as being typical; tliey represent in the main those which a student should carry out in order to get a useful knowledge of quantitative methods, for scientific and technical purposes. They include the Analysis of Ores, of various Industrial Products, of AVater and Food, and of Organic Substances. Part V. treats of Gas-Analysis. It has been restricted in its scope to the more simple methods, many of which are now commonly applied to technical purposes. The omission of the more elaborate methods has been decided upon, partly because an abstract of such processes is almost useless, and a full description would have added to the dimensions of the book somewhat seriously; partly also because admirable accounts of these methods are at the disposal of the student in several of the standard works referred to in para- graph 802. Part VI. contains certain Typical Results of Analyses. It also contains a series of Tables of Constants required for calculating percentage results from the numbers obtained by analysis, and Tables of the Specific Gravities and correspond- ing percentage composition of diluted alcohol and of solutions of the common acids and alkalis. It concludes with Tables of Weights and Measures, and some useful ]\Iemoranda. Part VII. furnishes descriptions of the preparation of gases, of the use of compressed gases, and of the distil- lation of water. It concludes with Lists and particulars of the special Apparatus and Chemicals which are required for the processes referred to in the book, and with a list of useful Books of Reference. An Index to the Processes of Separation contained in the text precedes the General Index. The repeated revision which the text has undergone, during the preparation of the successive editions for the
