Book excerpt: Excerpt from The General Principles of Physical Science an Introduction to the Study of the General Principles of Chemistry As the title of this book indicates, its purpose is to present the general concepts and laws of physics and chemistry which lie at the basis of the modern science of theoretical chemistry. It forms the first, introductory part of a projected work upon this science, to be entitled the General Principles of Chemistry, the later parts of which are to treat, in succession, of the General Theories of Chemistry, of the Relations between Physical Properties and Chemical Composition, of the Principles relating to the Occurrence and Equilibrium of Chemical Changes, and of the Principles relating to the Energy-changes Attending Chemical Changes. As the work has had to be discontinued, it has been thought advisable to publish the part already completed, in the hope that it may assist students of theoretical chemistry by supplying, in a concise and consistent form, the essential preliminary knowledge of the fundamental principles of physical science. The method of presentation of these principles may also be of interest to teachers of general physics and chemistry, since an effort has been made to attain precision in the statement of laws and definitions, since the energy-concept has been employed, as far as seemed possible, as the basis of the consideration of other physical concepts, and since the difficult subject of the Second Law of Energetics has been very fully discussed from a non-mathematical standpoint. The treatment throughout is a systematic, not a historical one. It is essentially non-mathematical, but it is assumed that the reader knows the significance of differential and integral expressions, and that he is acquainted with a few of the simpler operations of the Calculus.
