The Study of Man
Year: 1898
Type: book-review
Abstract: The first part of this book is given up to analyses of single constituents, while farther on the the student is given methods of analyzing food, water, urine and soils.It is impossible to treat these subjects satisfactorily in a few pages, and the mere mechanical analysis of a few of these products would prove of little value to one who might have to deal with related substances.The chief objection to the book might be summed up in the statement that it is too mechanical.
