Excerpt from Law and Theory in Chemistry: A Companion Book for Students
This book contains the substance of a summer-school course of eight lectures delivered before an audience of school teachers of elementary chemistry at Colorado College, Colorado Springs, U.S.A.
It is not therefore adapted to beginners, but it is hoped that it may be found useful by such students as wish to recapitulate and co-ordinate the more important principles of chemistry before proceeding to more detailed and advanced works.
The qualification companion book occurring on the title-page is used advisedly, for text-book continuity and completeness cannot be claimed for the matter of the following pages. The seven chapters are in reality short and independent essays on the subjects of which they severally treat.
In the choice of subject-matter I was chiefly influenced by the two following considerations. Firstly, I desired to treat of those subjects which in my opinion are essential to a liberal understanding of the science, but which are inadequately treated in, or altogether crowded out of, the current text-books of elementary chemistry.
