Excerpt from Beginners Hand-Book of Chemistry: The Subject Developed by Facts and Principles Drawn Chiefly From the Non-Metals
This little book has been prepared as a popular introduction to the study of chemistry.
It is probably needless to recommend the subject: chemistry is recognized as a science of such general interest, such wide usefulness, and such universal application, that no intelligent person can endure long to remain ignorant of its principal facts and laws.
This book treats principally of the non-metals; it is believed to be the verdict of authors and teachers of experience, that these furnish the most suitable material for a beginner in the study of chemistry; these best present the fundamental facts and principles of the science, and they do it in connection with objects and phenomena easily accessible to almost every civilized human being.
The author contemplates the preparation hereafter of a book of similar general character, only having its principal facts drawn from the chemistry of the metals.
In writing this hook it has been the effort to treat the subject in a style that shall be attractive to the general reader; but it is believed that in no case has scientific fact been sacrificed in the interest of popular form.
