Excerpt from The Story of the Wanderings of Atoms: Especially Those of Carbon

In attempting, in The Story of the Chemical Elements, to set forth some of the guiding conceptions of chemistry, I gave a sketch of the theory of the grained structure of matter. That theory has put an instrument into the hands of the chemist which has proved of signal service in setting in order the connexions between the compositions and the properties of bodies, and in making possible and developing new chemical industries.

To grasp the conceptions of the atom and the molecule, and to be able to apply these in detail, is demanded alike of the man who wishes to follow the development of chemical science, and of him who desires to be a successful manufacturer in any of the more recently established branches of the chemical trades.
