Opis: Principles of Chemistry - Porter John A.

Excerpt from Principles of Chemistry: Embracing the Most Recent Discoveries in the Science, and the Outlines of Its Application to Agriculture and the Arts

In the preparation of this textbook on Chemistry, it has been the design of the author to disencumber the subject of much detail, which is only of interest to the professional chemist, and at the same time to bring the illustration of the more important phenomena of the science within the reach of every school and every individual student.

The most distinguished philosophers have not deemed it beneath their dignity to employ the simplest means of investigation. The teacher will not be loth to take advantage of similar means in illustrating their discoveries. An important design of this work is to show how this object may be accomplished, by the simple addition of a few test-tubes and a spirit lamp, to a list of chemical apparatus which may be found in every house.

Among the other distinctive features of the work, are a more complete classification than usual according to chemical analogies, the explanation of chemical phenomena in ordinary language, as well as symbols, and the addition of a complete set of formulae in the Appendix. A number of recent and important discoveries are introduced, and the relations of Chemistry to the Arts and Agriculture, are especially considered.
