In the writing of text-books ofO rganic Chemistry there are two distinct and incompatible systems. In the one, it is the practical aspect of the science which is kept in chief view; in the other, its symmetry and homogeneity. The one constantly directs attention to detail; the other approaches the subject with the desire of displaying its orderly principles and structural unity. The present writer adheres with conviction to the latter method. TT ie reader of text-books based upon the practical point of view is apt, if he be a beginner, to lose the thread of the argument in the wealth of facts ;for the mass of information necessary for the proper comprehension of the main principles of organic chemistry is so great, that additional details hinder rather than assist the student in his laborious task of assimilation. Even more important is the following consideration. Of recent years there has been an increasing tendency in examinations to set questions intended to be answered with all essential practical details a procedure designed to test the practical training of candidates. No real knowledge of organic chemistry can be acquired without laboratory work; and to supply in a small text-book, covering the entire field, these practical details, so that they can be memorised without actual experience, is contrary to the best interests of students. The present volume has been written to meet the new syllabus (1912) of the lower examination in organic chemistry in theB oard of Education Examinations inS cience and Technology. Previous knowledge of inorganic chemistry, though not of organic chemistry, is assumed. It is hoped that the matter here presented may also meet the needs of candidates for theM edical examinations in organic chemistry; with this in view, some of the more advanced portions, not intended for theM edical curricula, have been printed in smaller t

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins by introducing the reader to the field of organic chemistry in which the author stresses the critical difference between an empirical formula of an organic and inorganic compound and the importance of determining the structural formula of an organic compound thereby allowing the chemist to see how different elements are attached and connected and thus gain a deeper understanding of its nature. The book follows a logical path building upon the simple formula of methane, the simplest organic molecule, to explain the concepts of homology, isomers, and functional groups. The author describes the evolution of this field from its early roots as an adjunct to medical research to its current status as a broad and independent field of study that informs research in fields including biology, medicine, and materials science. With clear and accessible language, the author takes the reader on a guided tour of organic chemistry, describing the properties of the vast array of organic compounds and the reactions by which they are transformed. The text is interspersed with historical anecdotes and asides told in a way that brings the narrative to life, revealing the true human endeavour of scientific discovery. If you are new to the world of organic chemistry, or are looking for a resource that can provide depth and context, this book is an essential companion.
