An Introductory Course Of Quantitative Chemical Analysis: With Explanatory Notes
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
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.

He was born in Boston, Massachussets, in 1864, the son of Zephaniah and Eliza Frances (Paul) Talbot. The Talbot family was one of the earliest to settle in Massachusetts. William Cushing and Silas Talbot are among the distinguished ancestors. Henry Talbot's boyhood was spent in Holliston and Boston.
Education
He was graduated from the Holliston High School in 1881 and attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving the degree of S. B. in 1885.
He received the Ph. D. degree, summa cum laude, in 1890.
In 1921 he received from Dartmouth College the honorary degree.
Career
For three years he served as assistant and instructor at the Institute, and then he spent two years at the University of Leipzig, majoring in organic chemistry under Wislecenus and taking courses in the new field of physical chemistry under Ostwald.
After receiving the Ph. D. degree, he returned to the Institute of Technology, which he served continuously until his death, rising from the rank of an instructor to the headship of the departments of chemistry and chemical engineering, 1902-20, and of the department of chemistry, 1920-22. He was chairman of the faculty from 1919 to 1921, chairman of the administrative committee which conducted the affairs of the Institute following the death of Richard C. Maclaurin, and dean of students from 1921 until his death.
He published two textbooks of chemistry and numerous papers upon scientific and educational subjects. Talbot served, both as an officer and constant counselor, many professional organizations, the American Chemical Society, the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, the New England Society of Chemistry Teachers, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, with the same devotion that he served the Institute of Technology.
His comparatively early death, three weeks after undergoing a major operation, was a heavy loss to his associates and to the institution which he had so faithfully and ably served.
