This book treats procedures for the determination of aluminium through lithium. Strontium, a section included in calcium in the third edition, will be a separate chapter in the 4th edition. An effort has been made to keep to the aim of the previous editions of presenting a limited number of useful methods. Revision of magnesium through zirconium will require another several years. The chapters on aluminium, antimony, arsenic and bismuth have also been thoroughly revised.
