Présentation de l'éditeur
This little book lias been prejiared as a popular introduction to the study of chemistry. It is probably needless to recommend the subject: cliemistry is recognized as a science of such general interest, such wide usefulness, and such universal application, that no intelligent person can endure long to remain ignorant of its principal facts and laws. Tiiis book treats principally of the non-metuJ s; it is believed to be the verdict of authors and teachers of experience, that these furnish the most suitable material for a beginner in the study of chemistry; tiiese best present the fundamental facts and principles of the science, and tliey do it in connection with objects and phenomena easily accessible to almost every civilized human being. The author contemplates the preparation hereafter of a book of sinn -lar general character, only I iaving its principal facts drawn from the chemJB try of the metals. In writing tliis book it lias been the effort to treat the snlyect in a style that shall be attractive to the general reader; but it is believed that in no case has scientific fact been sacrificed in the interest of popular form.
