A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the year which has passed since this book was first published, signs have not been wanting that interest in physical science, and more particularly in chemical science, has become more deep and widespread, and that the country has awakened to a fuller consciousness of the need of promoting and encouraging the study of chemistry and its advancement by research. Most clearly, perhaps, is this increase of interest shown in the sphere of education. Throughout all sections of the community, the demand is being made with increasing insistence, that the study of science shall form an integral part in all our schemes for a liberal education, both inS chool and University; and this demand is based, and rightly based, not so much on the utilitarian as on the cultural value of science. For the majority of our people, who will not be actively engaged in chemical pursuits, it is, as the author believes, not so much a knowledge of a wide range of facts that is required although some of the facts are so important that they should be known by all but rather the gaining of the scientific spirit, and of an understanding of the theoretic basis of science.

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.
