With electricity universally available, and with present dayinstruments and parts so low in cost, spectroscopic equipmentshould be in every school and laboratory.This book has been written to assist those who wish to analyzeores, minerals, alloys, and inorganic chemicals, or wish to teachothers to do so. In the qualitative analysis of such materials, thereis no instrument so rapid and accurate as the spectroscope, althoughthe analyst must remain within its limits of operation. Thisis also true of the quantitative analysis of these materials. Althoughspeed comes only after some experience, one may very soonacquire the necessary technique for accurate determinations. Theauthor has attempted to point out some of the short cuts to quickspectroscopic success. Direct methods of burning samples areshown; the key lines of each element have been selected, and a newchart-table has been prepared which shows both the spacing ofspectral lines and their wave-lengths. An increasing number ofschools and universities have courses in spectroscopy, and manyindustrial
