Excerpt from The Chemical Forces: Heat Expansion, Light and Electricity of an the to Chemical Physics, Designed for the Use of Academies, Colleges, and Medical Schools Light Houses

This Treatise has been prepared for the use of the general reader, as well as for that of Students in Academies, Colleges, and Medical Schools, and is designed to embody the most important facts and principles of the Physical Forces, - Heat, Light, and Electricity, that have any connection with the production of Chemical phenomena, and to form an introduction to the study of the science of Chemistry. With that science these subjects arc so closely associated that they may be said to constitute a part of it, and a thorough knowledge of them is absolutely indispensable to its satisfactory study. They are also possessed of great intrinsic interest, and arc intimately connected with all the most important scientific inventions of the Age, - the Steam Engine, Photography, the Electric Telegraph, and others, as well as with many of the great processes of Nature, in constant operation around us, and these cannot be understood without a thorough knowledge of their elementary Principles.

At the same time they arc among the most difficult portions of Physical Science, and for their thorough understanding a considerable amount of minute explanation and illustration is required.
