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 Manual of Qualitative Blowpipe Analysis, and Determinative Mineralogy A complete revision, with many alterations and addi tions, was afterward made by the editor of this volume, with the assistance of Prof. C. F. Chandler, which has continued in use to date, having passed through several editions. As the demand for the book has continued, it has been thought advisable to bring it up to the pres ent time, which has involved a total change and nearly an entire rewriting.

Henry Bradford Nason was born on June 22, 1831 in Foxboro, Massachussets, United State. He was the son of Elias and Susanna (Keith) Nason. His father and Levi, the father of Elias Nason, were half-brothers.
Henry was graduated from Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Massachussets, in 1851, and from Amherst College in 1855, then studied at Göttingen (1855 - 57), where he obtained his doctor's degree, at Heidelberg, and at Freiberg.
Returning to the United States, he taught for a year at the Raymond Collegiate Institute, Carmel, New York, and in 1858 became professor of natural history in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Until 1866, when he was appointed professor of chemistry and natural science at Rensselaer, he also taught natural history at Beloit College, Beloit, Wiskonsin, dividing his time between the two institutions. He retained his professorship at Rensselaer until his death.
As adviser to the Standard Oil Company, 1880-90, he introduced a number of improvements in the process of treating crude oil.
In 1881 he was appointed inspector under the New York State Board of Health to eliminate nuisances due to the use of petroleum.
He was later delegated by the United States, which he had represented at the Paris Exposition of 1878, to attend the International Congress called to consider the same subject. In connection with his studies in geology and mineralogy, to which, because of traditions at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, he was increasingly attracted, he also visited most countries in Europe and all the principal mining areas of the United States. Except, however, for advancements in technique, particularly in the analytical procedures applicable to the problems of geology and mineralogy, he appears to have done little original work in chemistry. Even his Table of Reactions for Qualitative Analysis (1865) and his Table for Qualitative Analysis in Colors (1870) are largely compilations based to a considerable extent upon results obtained in the laboratories of the Institute. His most useful service was that of translator, editor, and organizer of scientific activities. At Rensselaer he not only continued the scholarly traditions established by his predecessors, William Elderhorst and Charles Anthony Goessman, both of whom were educated in Germany, but he also published Handbook of Mineral Analysis (1871), translated, with some revision, from the German of Friedrich Wehler, and with Charles F. Chandler edited Elderhorst's Manual of Qualitative Blowpipe Analysis, and Determinative Mineralogy.
He prepared the Proceedings of the Semi-Centennial Celebration of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, with a Catalogue of Officers and Students, 1824-74 (1875) and the more important Biographical Record of the Officers and Graduates of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 1824-86 (1887), which throws considerable light upon the development of science and engineering in the United States.

In Troy he married Frances Kellogg Townsend on September 7, 1864, by whom he had a son and a daughter.
