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

TIME preceding edition OF DIR. Thorn
| sons Chemistry, had acquired SO
| much reputation both 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 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 oRly 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 a substitute
for it. But, there's so much theoretical
sgestion-so much abstruse calculation
so much fact OF dubious authOrity-and
so much dubious validity-that notes aud
illustrations are absolutely necessary,
not merely to render the book more use.
Fai, but more ineligible.
Under these impressions, | thought lit
to write notes in illustration land some
times in contradiction OF the 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.
