The Use of the Blowpipe in Chemistry and Mineralogy #224104

Tm: constantly increasing interest which is felt in the sciences of chemistry and mineralogy in this coun try, as well as the rapid development of our mineral resources, seems to render it expedient that a treatise on the use of that indispensable instrument, the blow pipe, should be rendered accessible to the chemists, mineralogists and miners of this country. The edition of the standard work on the blowpipe, so recently pub lished by Berzelius, seems to contain all that could be wished for on this subject, and the translator presumes, that, if the translation shall prove to have been properly executed, he will have rendered acceptable service to science.
