Preface To The Second Edition

The authors have thoroughly revised this second edition of their manual. Practical experience in using the book -with t"wo classes in the laboratory, the questions of students, and the suggestions of friends have enabled them to improve some of the detailed directions for experiments, and to make a few other changes and additions calculated to smooth difficulties or supplj' defects. Special pains have been taken to make the printing of this edition as accurate as possible.

Boston, December 1867.
