The Blowpipe Vade Mecum. the Blowpipe Characters of Minerals: Deduced from the Observations of A. Smith. Arranged and Ed. by S. Haughton and R.H. Scot

"The Blowpipe Vade Mecum" is a detailed guide to blowpipe analysis, a 19th-century method of identifying minerals through their chemical reactions under intense heat. Authored by Aquilla Smith, and arranged and edited by S. Haughton and R.H. Scott, this book presents a systematic approach to determining the composition of minerals based on observed characteristics when subjected to a blowpipe flame.

This edition provides a structured compilation of observations, making it an invaluable resource for students and practitioners in chemistry and mineralogy. The book offers insights into the techniques and methodologies used in analytical chemistry during the 19th century. Its enduring value lies in its comprehensive treatment of blowpipe analysis and its historical significance in the field of mineral identification.
