A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Biographical Note prefixed to the late Dr. Campbell Brown s History of Chemistry, it is recorded that he had prepared and read a large number of papers to scientific societies. A list of the most important of these was added to the Note. Since his death, and more particularly since the publication of the History, Mrs. Campbell Brown has received many requests for copies of particular papers, but she was unable to accede to these requests, because most of the essays had never been printed, and of those which were printed no copies were left which could be given away. Mrs. Campbell Brown accordingly decided to have a selection made from the essays and addresses and published as a volume uniform with the History. As I had edited the former book, she entrusted me with the duty of seeing this one through the press. In making a selection, it has been necessary to omit some valuable work, partly because it has been superseded by more modern research, and partly because the subject was of such a technical character that its appeal was merely to a limited class. It is hoped that the choice which has been made will be found to include all the detached essays and addresses of Dr. Campbell Brown, which still have general interest and merit reperusal at the present time. The papers have been printed as nearly as possible in the shape in which they were delivered. They thus form an admirable illustration of Dr. Campbell Brown smanner of lecturing.
