Résumé :
Excerpt from Organic Analysis: A Manual of the Descriptive and Analytical Chemistry of Certain Carbon Compounds in Common Use

The operator in chemical analysis requires for his direction a system Of descriptive ch.emistry, to be as nearly complete as possible. In resorting to the hand-books of general chemistry for the record of physical and chemical constants the analyst is Often disappointed. It belongs, therefore, to analytical chemistry to furnish chemical descriptions with special precision, and this is a service promoting independent chemical work. As a mere changeful body of directions, giving the latest expedients in methods, analytical 0chemistry cannot claim to have educational value. But as an operative introduction to the character and deportment of compounds, analysis becomes a logical mode of study, fruitful of important results.

For certain common carbon compounds it has been under taken to furnish in this work, first, systematic chemical description, and thereupon the methods Of analytical procedure, qualitative quantitative, and for proofs of purity, all with liberal citations Of the authorities for convenience of further reading. In the references an order is Observed as follows: (1) name Of the con tributor, (2) year Of the contribution, (3) volume and page, first Of original and then of contemporary publications.
