Chemistry.

IN FOUR VOLUMES OCTAVE.

IN fUOh NOLO MhS wv ih'Os
TIME preceding edition of DR.. Thorn
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 been enriched,
and the new views of the subject which
extended knowledge had suggested as
indispensable, was eagerly looked for
by the scientific world. A 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
the 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-
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 fsrnish a substitute
for it. But, there's SO much theoretical
suggestion-so much abstruse calculation
so much fact OF dubious authority--and
so much dubious vaiidity-that notes and
illustrations are absolutely necessary,
not merely to render the book more use.
fal, but more ineligible.
Under these impressions, l thought ut
70 write notes in illustration land some
times il CONTRADICTORY OF tine work itself,
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 study it, calculation will be necessary.
| have endeavoured to supply these, to
the best Of my ability; regardless whe
ther 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.
