Excerpt from Gasometry Comprising the Leading Physical and Chemical Properties of Gases It was the author's original intention merely to arrange in a more connected and suitable form, those methods of gasometric analysis which he has from time to time published in his various researches. In following out this idea it was soon found, that in order to make the processes more universally available, it was necessary to generalise many methods which were previously only applicable to special cases. This involved the execution of a series of laborious experimental investigations, a detailed account of which must be given, in order that the processes described may rest on a scientific foundation. The materials of gaseous analysis, otherwise so limited, have thus received no unimportant additions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
