Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of a limited coarse in chemistry is not to make chemists of the pupils, but to teach them what chemistry is, what it has accomplished, and what it may accomplish. The study of science can be made attractive only by arousing natural curiosity as to the cause of natural phenomena, and no greater mistake can be committed than to endeavor to make the facts of chemistry dependent upon its theory. It is true that here and there an exceptional pupil may grasp that theory and acquire the science; but even in such cases no special interest is developed, while to the more practical the subject becomes both foolishness and a stumbling-block. The successful teacher of chemistry is not only thoroughly familiar with his science; he loves it. It is not enough that he has read several text-books on chemistry ;he must be practically acquainted, with all the phases of the facts with which he deals, and must have at least a general knowledge of the literature of the subject. His endeavor will then be to impart to his pupils some part of his own enthusiasm. Chemistry is peculiarly a study of observation, and it should be taught as it has been developed, first by the careful examination of facts, then by the theoretical explanations suggested by those facts. By new experiments the interest of the pupil is at once awakened, and will not flag during the consideration of the theory which explains the experiments. The pupil is not to suppose that certain compounds are without importance, but is to understand rather that only the more important and more practical can be considered in the time devoted to study. While the time has passed when valuable research can be conducted with inexpensive apparatus, a comparatively extended course on chemistry can be illustrated at little cost. Every teacher of chemistry should have some knowledge of glass-blowing, and some mechanical i

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
