IN FOUR VOLUMES OCTAVE.

TIME preceding edition OF DIR. Them
sons Chemistry, had acquired so
much reputation bath in England and up.
or the continent of Europe. that new
edition, comprising the new facts with
which the science had been enriched,
and the new views of the subject which
extended know!edse had suggested as
INDISPENSABLE, was eagerly looked for
by the scientific world A new edition
has accordingly appeared, wherein the
former edition ot'tive Volumes has been
condensed into four.
All the new discoveries, and all the
new theories of Chemical Phenomena,
have been considered aud embraced in
the present improved edition: so that it
is indispensable to the chemical student,
as presenting the OILY condensed view
Of the changes and alterations in chemi-
cal doctrine, which the discoveries Of the
last ten wears have suggested. No apol-
ogy therefore can b. necessary for re-
printing such a book in this country; for
the press does not furnish z substitute
for it. But, there is 50 much theo' etIcal
81 ,geston-so much abst'use calculation
so much fact of dubious authority and
20 much dubious vaIidity-that notes and
Illustrations are absolutely necessary,
not merely to render Che book more USE
!sl, but more ineligible.
Under these impressions, thought ut
to write note. in Illustration and some
times in contradictory OF the work itself,
rather than to make any Infringement ct
it. Those who wish to know the modern
views Of chemical science, must peruse
it and to very many who will be anxious
to study it, calculation will be necessary.
|. have endeavoured to supply these. to
the best Of my ability; regardless whe
Their nv own opinions are in dissonance
or coincidence with those of my author
leaving to the reader to decide between
US.
The work will be published, with notes
and illustrations, in four volumes $40.
