PREFACE.

THIS little treatise is intended for the use of Candidates for the Matriculation Pass Examination of the University of London. It is believed to contain all (and but little more than all) that is required for the chemical branch of that examination.

On page ix will be found a list of the subjects in this branch, a knowledge of which is demanded by the University. Attached to each is given the number of page and paragraph where the subject is discussed. It will be seen that the order of the subjects required for the examination has been adhered to as strictly as possible.

There is in each Chapter about sufficient material for a lesson. Those to whom the subject is entirely new and who have not the advantage of receiving oral instruction, should not attempt to understand everything on the first reading.
