Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chemistry, Inorganic and Organic: With Experiments This work is designed to give a clear and simple description of the elements and their principal compounds, and of the chemical principles involved in some of the most important branches of manufacture. Keeping this in view, I have employed as few technical terms as possible, especially at the commencement, so that the student may glide into Chemistry without having first to toil through a difficult chapter on the terminology of the science, which he can never appreciate until he has become acquainted with the examples which serve to illustrate its application. Convinced, by experience, of the great assistance afforded to the learner by referring him to a simple illustrative experiment, I have introduced, generally in smaller type, a description, and in most cases a wood engraving, of the experiments which I have found most useful in illustrating lectures, hoping that these may prove of service in fixing the attention of the student, and may assist those who are desirous of performing such experiments for their own instruction, or for that of a class. In general, English weights and measures, and Fahrenheit ther-metric degrees, have been employed, as conveying more clearly to the beginner the absolute values expressed, since the mental effort of converting what must still be called the Continental systems, slight though it be, might have the effect of diverting the attention of the reader from the chemical question under consideration.
