The Rudiments of Chemistry: Illustrated by Experiments and Copper-Plate Engravings of Chemical Apparatus (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from The Rudiments of Chemistry: Illustrated by Experiments and Copper-Plate Engravings of Chemical Apparatus

The Author of the following pages had often been requested to compose an Elementary Treatise on Chemistry, which, while it possessed the simplicity and perspicuity at which he aimed in composing the Chemical Cate chism, might, by a reduction of its size, be af forded at a much lower price: but a variety of avocations had induced him to decline this pro posal, until the applications became too numer ous and respectable to be refused. He has however now entered on the, proposed task; and, having made the Chemical Catechism the basis, he has taken pains to accommodate that system to the improved state of chemical know ledge; in hopes that this little volume may not only be acceptable to those masters of semina ries, and other friends, at whose particular so licitation it was at first projected, but also have some claim to general patronage.
