Excerpt from Grammar of Chemistry
The science of Chemistry has become so popular and fashionable a study, that to be wholly unacquainted with it, rather betrays a mortifying ignorance. It seems therefore highly proper, that its elementary principles should be brought into so narrow a compass, as to enable every person to become acquainted with the general outlines of the Science, without intruding too much upon other avocations. And, in our Seminaries where a liberal English education is taught, it is surely high time to add this interesting and useful study.
Under the influence of this impression, and also with a view to furnish a text book for such as wish to attend popular lectures on Chemistry, the following little work has been revised: The corrections and additions which have been made, are principally such, as could not with propriety be dispensed with.
Although the general plan of the work, and the brevity studied by the author throughout the compilation, rendered it a most valuable elementary book, yet opinions had been occasionally advanced which were opposed to experiment.
