Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Analytical Chemistry and Its Future In an address read at Philadelphia nearly twelve years ago, I gave expression to some thoughts on the condition of analytical chemistry in our country as the condition appeared to me then to be. Those thoughts were based on an experience of many years, during which I was engaged wholly in analytical work of a more than ordinarily exacting nature, and especially upon observations that had been acquired in connection with several series of cooperative analyses of diverse materials. Since then my attention has been no less given to analysis, largely for the past eight years in a supervisory capacity, however, and I have had opportunity to note the conditions that now prevail with respect to chemical analysis and what an important bearing exact analytical work often has on problems of physical and electrochemistry, metallurgy, etc. It seems to me then that I can choose no more fitting subject for my present discourse than a continuation of one so closely related to my life-work, one in which I feel a deep interest and of which I may be presumed to have knowledge somewhat worth presenting on an occasion like this.
