Excerpt from First Principles of Chemistry
In selecting their material for this book, the authors have been governed wholly by what they considered of intrinsic value to the elementary student, without reference to its traditional place in a text-book. This has led to the omission of some subjects commonly found in. books for beginners. To the subjects selected they have striven to give a discussion simple enough to be readily comprehended by the beginner, and complete enough to furnish him with a clear idea of the underlying principles of Chemistry and a definite knowledge of its more important facts.
The experimental determination of chemical facts is, then, emphasized from the first. When sufficient facts have been given to make explanation necessary, the generalizations of the science have been introduced. In some of the theoretical chapters, particularly those on solution and ionization, it may be advisable to omit certain portions at first and to take them up afterwards as need arises.
The authors have attempted to bring out the fundamental principles first by a simple statement, which is later developed and driven home by illustrations, exercises, and problems, all designed to stimulate the pupil to think for himself, and constantly to connect his new facts with the facts and principles already learned.
