Pharmaceutical and Food Analysis - A Manual of Standard Methods for the Analysis, of Oils, Fats and Waxes, and Substances, in Which They Exist Together, With Allied Products #246461

Mr. Thurston's conception of a text book on chemistry to meet the needs of chemists engaged in the analysis of foods and drugs has appealed to me. His ideas of the incontrovertible data - the backing needed by chemists engaged in such analysis - were born of experience long and intensely practical. In this assemblage of data, which he built up around him, and with which he fortified himself in his work, I, an onlooker, find, at the close of his life of uprightness and usefulness, factors that contributed so highly to his success. The pages of this book contain the very essence of all that others know on the subjects treated. And to the knowledge of others Mr. Thurston has liberally contributed from his own.<br><br>As a friend of the author I have had real pleasure in assisting the publishers in the final preparation of the pages.
