Excerpt from Popular Treatise on Agricultural Chemistry: Intended for Use the Practical Farmer

The reasons which have induced me to publish the following treatise are, a desire to supply a want extensively present amongst Agriculturists, for such general knowledge connected with chemistry as may assist them in their various operations, and also the belief that no work of the kind at present exists, in which the subject chosen is either so fully explained or so well adapted for general perusal.

Until a very recent period, great doubt has existed amongst all writers on Agricultural Chemistry, as to the manner in which plants assimilate the matter composing their structure, not to mention the source from which these matters are derived. In the following pages I have endeavoured to explain these hitherto mysterious operations of nature, in such a way as to be of easy comprehension to all who will take the trouble to investigate the subject.
