Abstract
IT is now becoming generally recognised that chemical analysis is a subject that may be looked at, taught, and practised in two ways—as an art, or as a science. No doubt it should be both, and always has been both with chemists properly so-called; but it is sad to think of the time, trouble and money that have been expended during the last thirty years in disseminating a smattering of the analytical art on the supposition that education and even British industry would be thereby furthered.
