Excerpt from Chemical Reports and Memoirs, on Atomic Somorphism, Edosmosis, the Simultaneous Contrast of Colours, the Latent Heat of Steam at Different Pressures, the Artificial Formation of Alkaloids, and Volcanic Phenomena, 1848
The First and Fourth Reports on Atomic Volume and Isomorphism, by Professor Otto, of Brunswick, contained in the present volume, are extracted from the second edition of that authors systematic work on Chemistry, now in course of publication. They contain, I believe, a more detailed account of the researches and speculations of H. Kopp, Schroder, Lowig, and others, than has hitherto been given to the public. The imperfect but advancing state of these branches renders their critical discussion useful and opportune, and incites to farther inquiry. The more recent memoir of M. Filhol, translated from the Annales de Chimie et de Physique, t.xxi (3me serie), has been added, as it contains a series of new determinations of the specific gravity of many substances, by which he is enabled to test M. Kopp's theoretical conclusions, and to modify them in several points.
The Report on Endosmosis, by Dr. Julius Vogel of Giessen, is the translation of a tract published separately by him, under the title of the report. The attention of chemists and physiologists has lately been recalled to this subject by the researches of Liebig on the Motion of the Juices in the Animal Body.
The Physical Investigations on Dyeing, by M. Chevreul, which form the fifth Memoir, were read before the French Academy, and published in the Revue Scientifique et Industrielle, t.xii., 1847, from which they have been extracted.
