Excerpt from Elements of Industrial Chemistry The purpose in presenting this elementary work on Industrial Chemistry is to meet the needs of those teachers of the subject who find that the time at their disposal does not warrant the employment of an extended treatise. The author, therefore, has compiled from the Manual of Industrial Chemistry an abridged volume which covers the most salient points of the larger book. The endeavor has been, in arranging this con densation, to treat the subjects covered in a general manner only, thus eliminating as much of the detail as possible in order that the fundamental principles might be more clearly set forth. Although the subject matter is essentially descriptive, a certain amount of theoretical consideration has been included where necessary for the proper understanding of the text. Should the student desire more detailed information on the subject, or a more extended description of the processes under con sideration he is referred to the Manual from which this book is compiled. No claim for originality is made for this volume, and full credit should be given to those who contributed to the larger book mentioned above.
