This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Contributions to the Knowledge of the Nature of the Chinese Sugarcane: Sorghum Saccharatum, W Saline Matters - A quantitive analysis had informed me that the phosphoric acid in the sorghum cane juice was more than the alkaline earths required, I selected on that account a method recommended in such cases by Woehler, and proceeded in the fol lowing manner: Two hundred and forty grams of sorghum cane juice were' evaporated and the organic matter thoroughly de stroyed by a careful heating in a muffled stove. The black spongy residue was then pulverized, and divided into two equal parts, of which one part was extracted by means of hydro chloric acid, and the other by means of nitric acid; finally for the same purpose repeatedly boiled with distilled water; the hereby remaining carbonaceous mass was then heated in a platinum crucible till the combustion of the carbon was accom plished. A white ash was thus produced, which was again heated in the same way as the spongy coal. This process left the silica in its 'pure state, and brought the rest of the component parts into solution. The average of various analytical results yielded gm. Silica, which is equal to per cent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Goessmann Charles Antony was born on June 13, 1827, in the little town of Naumburg, in Hesse-Cassel, Germany. He was the son of Heinrich and Helena Henslinger-Boediger Goessmann. He was christened Karl Anton.
Goessmann was trained in the schools of Naumburg and Fritzlar and then, becoming interested in pharmacy, he spent several years as an apprentice and assistant pharmacist in the towns of Gudensberg, Gottingen, Mainz, and Fulda.
In 1850, he matriculated at the University of Gottingen. Influenced by the renowned chemist and teacher, Friedrich Woehler, who had been a fellow student with Goessmann’s father at Marburg, the young pharmacist decided to become a chemist.
In 1852, he received his Ph. D. degree and for the next five years remained with Woehler at Gottingen as an assistant.
At the same time, he carried on important investigations in organic chemistry, the results of which, published in some twenty papers, established his reputation as one of the promising young chemists.
As an instructor at Gottingen, Goessmann won the friendship of two American students, one of whom, J. H. Eastwick, was instrumental in his emigrating to America, for in 1857, Goessmann accepted an invitation to become chemist of the sugar refinery of Eastwick Brothers in Philadelphia.
Three years later, he was asked by Prof. George H. Cook, of Rutgers College, and state geologist of New Jersey, to join in an investigation of the salt deposits at Syracuse, New York. This led to his acceptance of a permanent position as chemist of the Salt Company of Onondaga, which he held until the end of 1868.
Thus, for the first twelve years of his stay in America, he was associated with the small group of chemists who were applying knowledge of chemistry to rapidly developing industries.
For the two years, 1862-64, during the period of his connection with the salt industry, he was also a professor of chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
In 1868, William S. Clark, another of Goessmann’s Gottingen students, who had been elected president of the newly established Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst, offered the professorship of chemistry in this new institution to his former instructor. Goessmann accepted, and for forty years remained in active service, finding his real life-work in helping to shape the policies of this new type of college, and to develop in the experiment station the practical application of chemistry to the solution of problems in agriculture.
During the first years in his new position, he was also chemist to the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture and state inspector of fertilizers, as well as an analyst to the State Board of Health. When the Massachusetts State Experiment Station was established in 1882, he was made director and chemist, retaining the latter position until his retirement in 1907.
He was the first chairman, in 1880, of the organization which in 1884 became the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists and president of the American Chemical Society in 1887.
In 1907, the Carnegie Foundation granted him a pension on which he retired from active service.
