Excerpt from Fireside Science: A Series of Popular Scientific Essays Upon Subjects Connected With Every-Day Life
The essays contained in this volume relate to the science of home life, and the every-day affairs of individuals and families. It has been the aim of the author to present some of the facts of science in their bearings upon hygiene, the arts, agriculture, etc., in a way to interest and instruct those who gather by the fireside, and those who labor in the workshop and the field. In order not to weary and confuse the minds of readers, the essays have been made as brief as possible. It is certain that the general reader cannot be held to the perusal of scientific treatises, if they abound in extended discussions, or are presented with much minuteness of detail. Science can only be attractive to the busy men and women of our time when its facts and instructions are unincumbered with abstract reasonings and technicalities; and also it is needful, if the popular mind is to be interested, that the facts bear upon some definite point or topic. It will not do to skirmish over a wide field, and attempt to bring under one head a dozen branches of a subject.
