    PEE FACE. Tn the division of chemical teaching into departments, which sooner or later becomes necessary in a growing College, the instruction of students in Chemical Calcula- tions has for several years fallen to the lot of the author of this little treatise. Mr. Whiteley has also, at the same time, been engaged in laboratory teaching, and in lecturing upon certain special branches of Chemistry. The text-book which he now issues accordingly bears manifest evidence, not only of his experience as a teacher, but also of his being well in touch with the calculations which are required by chemical students for various purposes, and with the chemical knowledge which elementary students may be assumed to possess. As a matter of fact, however, the author has wisely decided to give a short summary of chemical facts or processes before proceeding to explain the methods of calculation which are applied to them. Laboratory students will tind a most useful and con- venient explanation of the methods of calculating the results of specific gravity determinations, of analyses whether gravimetric, volumetric or gasometric, and of atomic and molecular weight determinations ; they will find these also brought up to date as regards the methods to which they refer.
