by Eduard Farber

The “cold light” produced by phosphorus caused it to be considered a miraculous chemical for a long time after its discovery, about 1669. During the intervening three centuries numerous other chemical miracles have been found, yet phosphorus retains a special aura of universal importance in chemistry. Many investigators have occupied themselves wit..

A Textbook of Assaying

A Textbook of Assaying

by Cornelius Beringer

The Text-book now offered to the public has been prepared to meet the existing want of a practical "handy book" for the Assayer. To mining men the word "assaying" conveys a sufficiently clear meaning, but it is difficult to define.

Some of the most picturesque features of this awakening reached the great public through the press. Thus, the adventurous trips of the D..

Elements of Agricultural Chemistry

Elements of Agricultural Chemistry

by Thomas Anderson

The object of the present work is to offer to the farmer a concise outline of the general principles of Agricultural Chemistry. It has no pretensions to be considered a complete treatise on the subject. On the contrary, its aim is strictly elementary, and with this view I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to avoid unnecessary technicalities so ..
