Day Classes and Lectures.
Dr. Armstrong will deliver a course of lectures introductory to the study of various branches of Applied
Chemistry on Wednesdays at 10 to 11, and on Fridays
at 2 to 3, commencing October 5th.
A laboratory class, specially suited to students
attending this course, will be held on Wednesdays at 11
to 1, and 1.30 to 3.30, commencing October 5th.
In connexion with this course, Mr. Evans will discuss
exercises, &c., and give a series of lecture demonstrations, at a time which will be arranged to suit the convenience of the class.

each term, or 1l. for the session.
Evening Classes and Lectures.
A course of laboratory demonstrations in Organic
Chemistry will be given by Dr. Armstrong on Monday
evenings at 6.30 to 9.30 o'clock, commencing October
3rd.
This course is principally intended for distillers
(including coal-tar distillers and spirit rectifiers), and
will be suited for candidates in subject 4 at the technological examinations; but it is hoped that students who
have attended a previous course on the chemistry of
brewing may be able to continue their attendance, and
that new students of this branch of Organic Chemistry
may also present themselves. Students desiring to
obtain a knowledge of the chemistry of bread-making
should attend on this evening.
On the same evening, at 6.30 to 9, Mr. Evans, chief
assistant in the Chemical Laboratory, will give a course
of laboratory and lecture demonstrations on the properties of the more important metals and metallic compounds, with reference to their practical applications
and their analytical determination and estimation.
Copper, iron, lead, silver, tin and zinc will be the metals
principally treated of, and the wants of plumbers and
metal workers generally will be as far as possible considered.
Dr. Armstrong will commence, on Friday, October
7th, a course of lecture and laboratory demonstrations
on fuel, with special reference to coal gas as a heating
and illuminating agent. Laboratory class, 6.30 to 8.30;
Lecture, 8.30 p.m.
Candidates in the subject fuel at the technological
examinations may with advantage attend this course.
City and Guilds Technical Institute.
In this course, the principles on which combustion
depends will be fully explained and illustrated; also the
methods of determining the heating power of fuels.
The properties of the several fuels, their composition,
and their heating powers will be demonstrated; and the
relative advantages of various fuels and the different
modes of applying heat will be discussed. Subsequently,
the determination of temperature, the temperatures
required for and obtained in various technical operations, and the circumstances affecting the combustion
of fuels will be considered. Illuminating agents will
form the subject of the latter part of the course, but it is
important that students who may desire to specially
devote their attention to this subject should attend the
earlier part of the course.
In the laboratory course, the students will have the
opportunity of experimentally studying the laws of
combustion, the properties of fuels, and the method of
determining their composition and heating power, and
of instituting various experiments with fuels. Later on
they will take up the subjects of illuminating agents.
