Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commercial Organic Analysis, Vol. 3: A Treatise on the Properties, Proximate Analytical Examination, and Modes of Assaying the Various Organic Chemicals and Products Employed in the Arts, Manufactures, Medicine, With Concise Methods for the Detection and Determination of Their Impurities, Ad
It is now nearly twenty years since the last edition of this volume was issued. During this period, the chemistry of the organic bases and alkaloids has'been greatly extended so that very far-reaching alterations have been necessary in the course of revision of this volume. As far as possible, however, the original arrangement of subject-matter has been retained, although considerable changes of order have in some instances been made, as, for example, in dealing with the cinchona alkaloids. It has, too, been found advisable to split up the section on Caffeine and Its Allies in the last edition into two separate portions, so as to deal with tea and coffee in one section and cocoa and chocolate in another.
As in the last edition, it has not been found possible to include all the principal vegetable alkaloids in one volume; those dealt with in Vol.
III, part iii, of the last edition will be found in Vol. VII of the new edition.
