Watts Manual Of Chemistry Theoretical And Practical Based On Fownes Manual Chemistry Of Organic Carbon Compounds PDF Download

Excerpt from Watts Manual of Chemistry, Vol. 2: Theoretical and Practical (Based on Fownes' Manual); Chemistry of Carbon-Compounds or Organic Chemistry The high reputation and wide circulation of Mr Watts' Edition of "Fownes" show that it supplies a want felt by a large number of both teachers and students. I have, therefore, not thought it necessary or desirable to alter the plan of the present edition in any essential particular. But I have striven to introduce all those corrections which have become necessary in consequence of the progress of knowledge in this department of Chemistry, and those additions which represent the most important results of recent investigation. d104-books on Chemistry, in passing through successive editions, are too commonly prone to increase excessively in bulk; and having felt, in common, I believe, with other teachers, the disadvantage to the student which arises from this circumstance, I have done my best to avoid it in the present instance. Nevertheless, the pages of Watts-Fownes will still be found to contain an account of, or, at least, a reference to, all Carbon Compounds which can fairly be regarded as having any considerable theoretical interest or practical importance. The nomenclature has been rendered as nearly as possible uniform throughout, and has been brought into conformity with the system promoted by Mr Watts, and recognised and adopted by the Chemical Society of London.
