Excerpt from The Experimental Basis of Chemistry: Suggestions for a Series of Experiments Illustrative of the Fundamental Principles of Chemistry All teachers worthy of the name strike out lines of their own and devise their own schemes, and it is unlikely that many will feel inclined to conduct their students through the whole of the work here detailed. But feeling as we do that Miss Freund's criticisms of methods still current are just and that many valuable suggestions are to be found in the following pages, we commend them to students and teachers alike, in the belief that much may be learnt by examining methods which have stood the test of practical experience in the laboratory of a teacher richly endowed with the critical faculty, keenly sensitive to fallacious reasoning, and quick to detect an unwarrantable assumption.
