This two volume text, purchased by Prof. John Russell in 1952, 1953 was used in both his studies as a student at Cornell and in research. It was THE manual for chemical microscopy. The two chemistry kits on display are described in, respectively, vol. I (Principles and use of microscopes and accessories. Physical methods for the study of chemical problems), & vol. II (Chemical methods and inorganic qualitative analysis). Vol. II is opened to pages describing and illustrating diagnostic crystals for analyzing microscopic levels of common chemicals.
