Excerpt from Chemistry of the Four Seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter; An Essay, Principally Concerning Natural Phenomena Admitting of Interpretation by Chemical Science, and Illustrating Passages of Scripture
"The Chemistry of the Four Ancient Elements," an Essay founded upon Lectures that I had the high and enviable honour of delivering before the Queen, and by Her most gracious special permission dedicated to Her Majesty, had the good fortune to meet with a favourable reception from the Public.
I am therefore induced to publish "The Chemistry of The Four Seasons," an Essay founded upon Lectures that I have recently delivered at Scientific Institutions in London and Liverpool, and I hope that it will be found equally worthy of reception.
I have written this Essay, not for the proficient but for the uninitiated in Chemistry; and I have endeavoured to bear in mind that in tracing natural phenomena, "there is not so much required any strength of imagination, or exactness of method, or depth of contemplation, as a sincere hand and faithful eye to examine, and to record the things themselves as they really appear."
