Book Description

Excerpt from Elementary Chemistry, Theoretical and Practical The lamented death of the Author has caused the revision of this edition to fall into the hands of others, who have fully sustained its reputation by the additions which they have made, more especially in the portion devoted to Organic Chemistry, as set forth in their preface. This labour has been so thoroughly performed, that the American Editor has found but little to add, his notes consisting chiefly of such matters as the rapid advance of the science has rendered necessary, or of investigations which had apparently been overlooked by the Author's friends. These additions will be found distinguished by his initials. The volume is therefore again presented as an exponent of the most advanced state of Chemical Science, and as not unworthy a continuation of the marked favour which it has received as an elementary text-book.
