This book is almost a thousand pages long so I haven't done an exhaustive search but based on a random sampling... none. The first page I stumbled on was the "Experimental Chemistry" intro (page 110) and, after a paragraph on the virtues of buying stoppered beakers custom engraved with chemical symbols, it listed asbestos as the first piece of equipment. I'm going to (safely) assume that a book written before we knew about carcinogens or sharpies probably doesn't contain designs that would meet modern FCC electromagnetic interference standards. Hell, a significant portion of the things described in this book would be grounds for OSHA penalties and class action lawsuits if carried out in a work place.
On a side note: oh, how times have changed: (pg 942)
Horse Sense
If you work for a man, in
heaven's name work for him.
If he pays wages that supply you your
bread and butter, work for him,
speak well of him, think well of
him, stand by him, and stand by the
institution he represents. I think
if I worked for a man, I would
work for him. I would not work
for him a part of his time, but all
of his time. I would give an un-
divided service or .none. If put to
a pinch, an ounce of loyalty is
worth a pound of cleverness. If
you vilify, condemn and eternally
disparage, why, resign your posi-
tion, and when you are outside,
damn to your heart's content. But,
I pray you. so long as you are a =
part of an institution, do not con-
demn it. Not that you will injure —
the institution — not that — but when
you disparage the concern of which
you are a part, you disparage your-
self. — Elbert Hubbard.
