IN FOUR VOLUMES OCTAVE,

TIME preceding edition of DR.. Thorn.
b sons Chemistry, had acquired Sc
much reputation both in England and up.
or the continent of Europe. that new
edition, comprising the new facts with
which the science had heen enriched,
and the new views of the subject which
extended knowledge had suggested as
indispensable, was esgerly looked for
/ y the scientific world. A new edition
has accordingly appeared, wherein the
former edition OF five volumes has been
condensed ipto four.
All the new discoveries, and all the
new theories of Chemical Phenomena,
have been considered AID embraced in
he present improved edition so that it
is indispensable to the chemical student,
as presenting the only condensed view
Of the changes and alterations in chemi-
csl doctrine, which the discoveries ofthe
lat ten years have suggested. No apol-
WY therefore can be necessary for re-
printing such book in this country; for
the press does not furnish a substitute

III sest,on-so much abstruse calculation
so much fact OF duh ,us authority-and
much dubious valdity-that notes and
uus;ra.ions are absolutely necessary,
ut merely to render the book more use,
u. but more ineligible.
Under these impressions, l thought lit

rather than to make any abridgement Of
it. Those who wish to know the modern
views OF chemical science, must peruse
it and to very many who will be anxious
to studyit, elucidaton will be necessary.
[ have cndeavcured to supply these, to
he best of my ability regardless whe
