Arthur Vogel (chemist)

Arthur Israel Vogel FRIC (22 December 1905[1] – 1966) was a British chemist known for his textbooks.[2] Vogel was born and educated in London. He served as the head of the chemistry department at Woolwich Polytechnic.[3]

Vogel

Vogel's textbooks included:[4]

  • Textbook of Qualitative Chemical Analysis (1937)
  • Textbook of Quantitative Chemical Analysis (1939)
  • Practical Organic Chemistry (1948)

These works were revised and translated in numerous editions and so became classics in the field. After Vogel died, further revisions were made by new authors. For example, the Textbook of Qualitative Chemical Analysis continued as the Textbook of macro and semimicro qualitative inorganic analysis with a new edition by G. Svehla in 1979.[5]
