Excerpt from Water Analysis: A Practical Treatise on the Examination of Potable Water

Excerpt from Water Analysis: A Practical Treatise on the Examination of Potable Water

The present edition of this work differs from the first in containing some new matter. The whole of the last edition has been transferred, almost without alteration, to the present one, though the arrangement has been slightly altered. The new matter added consists of the following: -

The Tetration of Waters, added to the chapter on Hardness;

A Modification of the Process for the Estimation of Nitrates;

A chapter on Volatile Organic Matter present in Water;

A Method of Estimating Minute Traces of Lead; and

A chapter on the Purification of Water.

The present Editor alone is responsible for the form in which the above additions appear, though to Professor Wanklyn must be ascribed the origin of some of the processes here worked out in detail.
