DR.. Thomson's System o
Chemistry.
IN FOUR VOLUMES OCTAVE.


TIME preceding edition Of DR.. Thom-
sons Chemistry, had acquired so
much reputation bath in England and up
OF 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 knowledge had suggested as
indispensable, was eagerly looked Tor
BY the scientific world. 4 new edition
has accordingly appeared, wherein the
former edition OF five Volumes has been
condensed into four.
All the new discoveries, and all the
new theories of Chemical Phenomena,
have been considered and embraced in
che present improved edition SO that it
is indispensable to the chemical student,
as presenting the oaly condensed view
Of the changes and alterations in chemi-
cal doctrine, which the discoveries Of the
last ten years have suggested. No apol-
ogy therefore can be necessary for re-
printing such book in this country for
the press does not furnish substitute
forit. But, there is SO much theoretical
81 sgestion-so much abstruse calculation
so much fact oil DUBIOUS authority--and
80 much dubious yalidity--that notes aud
Illustrations are absolutely necessary,
not merely to render the book more use.
ssl. but more ineligible.
Under these impressions, l thought fit
to write notes in illustration kand some.
lines in CONTRADICTORY OF the work itself,
rather than to make any abridgement OF
it. Those who wish to know the modern
news oil chemical science, must peruse
it; and to very many who will be anxious
to study it, calculation will be necessary.
I have cndeavoured to supply these, to
the best Of my ability regardless whe
.her my 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 8vo.

about seven miles from Port Tobacco,
and forty from, Washington City. Few
farms combine greater advantages than
this; added TO fertility of soil equal to
suy in the country, it buds on the creek

fencing; the creek affords in their sea-
sons, fish and wild fowl in abundance
The soil is peculiarly adapted to the
growth of Tobacco, Wheat and Indian
Corn, and the plaster has been found
from experience to act on It admirably.
There are how about 100 acres in clover,
some Of which is well set! The improve
ments are a new two story dwelling
house 16 by 40 feet, kitchen, barn, sta
bles, carriage hoase, with every other ne.
cessary out house, the whole in good re.
pair. There is also windmill in good

of excellent water in the yard, and sey.
eral springs on different parts Of the farm.
