Excerpt from The Chemistry of Common Life, Vol. 1 of 2
No pains have been spared to render this Edition worthy of that remarkable favour which has distinguished its predecessors; but as controversial notes, or corrections, and additions, marked out by brackets, are ill suited to a popular work, and as, in the present case, the additions have been numerous, the Editor and Publisher agreed that it would be needlessly perplexing to the reader if his attention were solicited to these alterations. The Editor found himself called upon to prepare for the press the work of a man who, unhappily, was no longer alive to prepare the new edition himself It was obvious that many changes would have to be made; but it seemed on all accounts desirable that they should be made silently. In some few instances notes have been added, where the Editor did not feel warranted in disturbing the text, and yet was unwilling to allow the statements of the text to pass without some qualification.
