Excerpt from Inorganic Chemistry
So many excellent text-books on Chemistry have been published within the last few years, that some apology seems necessary for the issue of another. It may be found in the fact that, admirable as are the extant treatises on the science, they are too extensive in their aim, too bulky, and too costly, for a large class of students who are anxious to acquire some knowledge of a branch of learning of which few can at the present day afford to be altogether ignorant.
The want of such a work has been felt so strongly by many, that the publishers of this volume have seen the necessity of meeting it in connection with their Educational Course, and, in compliance with their request, I have prepared the following Treatise.
Its object is strictly elementary; its purpose being to introduce the student to a knowledge of the more important fundamental laws of Chemistry, and to make him familiar with the properties of the chief elementary substances and their more remarkable compounds. In conformity with this aim, much greater space has been devoted to the discussion of such subjects as the General Properties of Matter, Weight, Chemical Affinity, the Laws of Combining Proportion, the Atomic Theory, Chemical Nomenclature, Chemical Notation, &c. than has been customary in works of the kind.
