Scientific Use of the Blowpipe and Deter Minative Mineralogy.

Professor Ulrich.

Instruction in the use of the blowpipe; reactions of elements, oxides and acids; determination of artificial inorganic compounds, to be succeeded by that of important metallic and earthy minerals, with aid of their crystalline form and physical properties. Experienced students, on providing themselves with the necessary apparatus, will also receive instruction in executing assays for gold, silver, lead, copper, nickel, cobalt, &c., by means of the blowpipe.

Dauby, M.A.; Manual of Determinative Mineralogy, by Professor Brush; Plattner's Manual of Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis with the Blowpipe, translated by Professor H. B. Cornwall.
