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.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Author searlier works, written only for the youthful student in Science, a promise was made that other books, to be regarded as a series of steps in Science, should be forthcoming. It is with this view that the present volume is offered; and as the general reader in fact, the Public has not the time or the inclination to study the very minute and laborious works of GMELIN, WATT, MILLER, and other learned authors, it is hoped that the facts contained in this more advanced but still elementary work will be found sufficiently attractive to stimulate, at all events, the would-be philosopher to further reading, and especially to perform correct scientific experiments. Brevity and simplicity have been carefully attended to in the following pages; and when other authors are quoted, the writer has preferred giving their exact language, instead of altering and paraphrasing words, which frequently detracts from the sense of the passage.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
