Before taking up the description of the details to be observed in the electrolytic precipitation of individual metals, it may not be uninteresting to briefly trace the history of the introduction of the electric current into chemical analysis. 4. HISTORICAL. Although the early years of last century show considerable activity in electrical studies, the efforts were mainly directed to the solution of the physical side of electrolysis. Cruikshank (1801), observing the readiness with which the metal copper was precipitated by the current, first suggested it as a possible agent in the detection of metals. Fischer (1812) detected arsenic, and Cozzi (1840) the metals generally in animal fluids by this means, while Gaul- tier de Claubry (1850) directed his efforts wholly to the isolation of metals from poisons by depositing the same upon plates of platinum. When the precipitation was considered finished the plates were removed, carefully washed, and the deposited metals brought into solution with nitric acid, and there tested for and identified by the usual course of analysis. The current was evidently very feeble, as the time recorded as necessary for the deposition varied from ten to twelve hours. Gaultier considered this method reliable in all instances, but especially recommends it for theseparation of copper from bread. In testing for zinc he employed a strip of t...
