Book Description

Excerpt from Familiar Letters on Chemistry: In Its Relations to Physiology, Dietetics, Agriculture, Commerce, and Political Economy My friend Dr. Gregory, who assisted me in the former editions, has, meantime, been removed by a Higher Power from his family and from science. United for more than twenty years by the ties of a sincere and intimate friend ship, no one feels more keenly than I do, the great loss sustained by his friends in his death. Rare extent of knowledge, combined with admirable powers of mind, enabled him to apprehend exactly the ideas and views of others, and to put them forward in the best form, and with the precision of original composition.
