This book provides a thorough overview of quantitative pharmaceutical chemistry and analytical methods. It covers general chemical analysis techniques, including methods to determine properties like solubility, specific gravity, melting/boiling points. It also details quantitative analysis methods for various substances like ash, moisture, fats/oils, volatile oils, and alkaloids. While comprehensive, the book may cover more depth than some pharmacy college curricula allow time for. The reviewer believes the book satisfies the need for a good resource on this important subject.
