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


TIME preceding edition of DR.. Thorn
| sons Chemistry, had acquired 81
much reputation bath in England and up
OF the continent Of Europe. that new
edition, comprising the new facts witt
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 she 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 ii
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
la It 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
for it. But, there is so much theoretical
suygestion-so much abstruse calculation
so much fact OF dubious authority-and
so much dubious yaIidity-that notes and
illustrations are absolutely necessary,
not merely to render the book more use.
'al, but more ineligible.
Under these impressions, l thought fit
70 write notes in illustration land some
times in CONTRADICTORY OF the work itself,
rather than to make any abridgement Of
it. Those who wish to know the modern
views oil chemical science, must peruse
lit; and to very many who will be anxious
to study it, calculation will be necessary.
I have endeavoured to supply these. to
he best Of my ability /; regardless whe
Their 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.
