Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive collection of formulas and processes for a wide range of practical applications. Compiled with meticulous attention to detail, it provides instructions for creating thousands of useful articles, spanning chemistry, pharmacy, medicine, and household arts. The author has consulted innumerable British and Continental volumes, along with their own personal experience in laboratories and manufacturing facilities, to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the included recipes. The book goes beyond simply listing formulas, offering historical context for key substances, derivations of their names, and explanations of scientific and technical terms. It also considers the issue of evolving terminology, offering synonyms and translations to aid in referencing more specialized works. This book's value lies in its accessibility. The author has deliberately chosen a general rather than a purely scientific approach, making it useful for both those with formal training and the general public. While theoretical reasoning is kept to a minimum, a light touch of scientific principles is employed where necessary to ensure the practical detail is understood and applied correctly. The result is a compendium of reference material for manufacturers, tradesmen, amateurs, and householders alike. This comprehensive guide illuminates the vast scope of practical knowledge available in the nineteenth century, offering insights into the world of chemistry, medicine, and the household arts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
