Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experimental Electrochemistry It has been the aim of the author to produce a book that will prove useful in both the lecture room and in the laboratory. Although a work upon the subject of electrochemistry must presuppose a working knowledge of chemistry and electricity, it has been the object of the writer to introduce the subject as clearly as possible, dealing with chemistry and electricity without assuming too much on the part of the student. The book is so written that it may be read through as a history by the student, presenting theory and practice together, with the introduction of an ample number of experiments to supply experimental evidence for the theories advanced. In the later and more practical part of the book, exercises in preparing electrolytic compounds and in isolating metals are introduced. It has also been the aim of the writer to introduce new material with suggestions for additional experiments with the hope that the work will not be unwelcome to those already well informed in the subject. Electrochemistry is at best a subject for the advanced student, and in order to carry out the experimental work with profit, as given here, he must have pursued beforehand laboratory courses in both chemistry and physics. If the more mature and experienced student profits by a study of the book, or the instructor obtains assistance in teaching or suggestions for new work, the object in writing the book will be attained.
