As the title indicates, this Introductory Text-B ook has been prepared to meet the requirements of Students of Schools of Mines, more especially of Colonial Schools of Mines, the subject-matter being selected to cover a period of three years laboratory work. The time necessary to cover the ground, though a somewhat variable quantity, may for a student of average ability be taken as follows: PART I. Qualitative Analysis and Preparation of Gases, 9hours per (F irst vear) weer wees and 6hours per week for 22 weeks, or a total of 231 hours. PART II. Advanced Qualitative A nalysis, 3hours per week for 33 weeks. (S econd year) Quantitative A nalysis, 12 hours per week for 33 weeks, or a total of 495 hours. PART III. A ssaying, 16 hours per week for 33 weeks. (T hird year) Technical A nalysis. 8hours per week for 33 weeks, or a total of 792 hours. It has been felt by the Authors and others that in no one text-book for the metallurgical student is there laid down a systematic course such as is provided for students of chemical analysis in the works of Newth, Clowes and Coleman and others. The standard works of Beringer and of Furman are of too advanced a nature for the average student, and it is of vital importance that, before working from these text-books, the student should have a thorough training in Qualitative Analysis (I norganic), simple and complex, and in simple Quantitative A nalysis, both Gravimetric and Volumetric. Without such a training the student is not in a position to profit by these works, and can at best but expect to become a mere rule-of-thumb assayer or chemist. The aim of this work, then, is to fill the existing deficiencies and provide the student with a graded course of work, leading from Simple Qualitative A nalysi up to the Technical Quantitative Methods employed by the modern Metallurgical Chemist, and treated of in the works mentioned
