Page 2 - ALLEN'S COMMERCIAL ORGANIC ANALYSIS A TREATISE ON THE PROPERTIES, MODES OF ASSAYING... VOL II
P. 2
PREFACE
IN the preparation of the present volume, the same methods have
been adopted as in the case of the first volume of this edition, The
greater proportion of the subject matter was included in Vol. 2,
part r, of the third edition of " Commercial Organic Analysis," but
the analytical chemistry of explosives, partly included in that volume
and partly in Vol. r of the same edition, will appear in a later volume.
All parts of the book have been revised by those especially
qualified for the work; the text has been completely rewritten, and a
very large amount of new matter has been added.
The editors desire to thank the contributors for the care and atten-
tion given in the preparation of the articles.
As usual, unless otherwise noted, temperatures are centigrade.
March, 1910.
