    PREFACE One of the established facts in connection with the teaching of Science in this country, is the formation of classes in every part of the kingdom under the auspices of the Science and'Art Department. The functions of this body are not confined to its own classes, for it also receives a wide recognition as an Examining Board. With the existence of such class teaching and examinations, it becomes an imperative necessity that teachers and students shall model their work on the lines of general treatment adopted by the Department in various subjects. As its name implies, the present work is the result of an endeavour to meet the requirements of students in the Depart- ment's ' Advanced' Chemistry Classes. There are two ways in which such a text-book may be prepared ; it may either be simply an examination cram-book, or it may aim at supplying the materials for such a bona-fide course of study as that the skeleton of which is given in the syllabus of the Department. It is respectfully submitted that a work may be so shaped as to fulfil these conditions and still be a genuine text-book of chemistry. On the principle that 'the greater includes the less,' a text-book satisfying the requirements of the syllabus will also satisfy those of the examination. The planning of this work has been a matter of some little difficulty, because such students as those fur whom ii is espe-
