Excerpt from A Fourteen Weeks Course in Chemistry In the preparation of this little volume the author lays no claim to originality: his has been the far humbler task of endeavoring to express, in simple, interesting language, a few of the principles and practical applications of Chemistry. There is a large class of pupils in our schools who can pursue this branch only a single term, the time assigned to it in most institutions. They do not intend to become chemists, nor even professional students. If they wander through a large text-book, they become confused by the multiplicity of strange terms, which they cannot tarry to master, and, as the result, too often only " see men as trees walking." Attempts have been made to reach this class by omitting or disguising the nomenclature ; but this robs the science of its mathematical beauty and discipline, while it does not fit the student to read other chemical works or to understand their formulae.
