Excerpt from Elements of Science and Art, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a Familiar Introduction to Natural Philosophy and Chemistry; Together With Their Application to a Variety of Elegant and Useful Arts In a book intended to exhibit only the popular elements Oi' science, it would be in vain to expect much original matter. To draw from authentic sources, and to arrange and-describe with clear ness and precision the principal known facts, ap pears to be all that the nature of the undertaking admits of. The following work, \therefore, is de rived from the discoveries of others; but it will be found upon perusal, that in several instances, Where the editor's, profession or opportunities of observation enabled him to add any thing to the stock of particular knowledge, he has not failed to make the attempt.

Excerpt from Elements of Science and Art, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a Familiar Introduction to Natural Philosophy and Chemistry; Together With Their Application to a Variety of Elegant and Useful Arts The original work by John Imison, entitled "The School of Arts," was some years ago put into the hands of the present editor, for the purpose of adapting it to the improved state of Philosophical Science. He engaged in the task the more readily, as lie conceived that, by giving a general and concise view of the principles of Natural Philosophy and Chemistry, and of their application to the arts, he might be, in some degree, instrumental in promoting the diffusion of science among persons deprived of the advantages of a regular education. Having had many opportunities, in the course of his profession, of observing the great use of even a small portion of scientific knowledge to a valuable class of the community, mechanics, he kept it particularly in his view to treat the various subjects, so as to render them as easily intelligible as possible; and, in general, to adapt the explanation of them to that class for which the work was intended by the original author.

Excerpt from Elements of Chemistry, Including the Applications of the Science in the Arts, Vol. 1 of 2 In preparing a new edition of his Elements of Chemistry, the Author has incorporated much new and accurate information with the old, while he has endeavoured to give to both the space and the measure of import ance which their true value demanded. In such a work, judicious selec tion of matter is as necessary as careful condensation, while the grounds of the selection are changed with the shifting point of view from which, in a progressive science, the retrospect is taken. The, important bearings of the laws of Heat, particularly in reference to the physical condition of matter, have led to their consideration before the chemical properties of substances, in this as in most other elementary treatises on chemistry. Light is then shortly considered, chiefly in refer ence to its chemical relations. The principles of its Nomenclature, in which, compared with many sciences, chemistry has been highly fortunate, are then explained, together with the symbolical notation and chemical formulae in use, by means of which the composition of highly compound bodies is expressed with the same palpable distinctness which, in arith metic, attends the use of figures, in the place of words, for the expression of numerical su'ms.

Excerpt from Elements of Chemistry, Including the Applications of the Science in the Arts, Vol. 1 of 2 If the Inorganic department of chemistry has not recently been expanded in the same vast proportion as the Organic branch of the science, still the former has been far from stationary of late years. The advance observed is partly in the old direction of enlarging the list of elements, partly and more conspicuously in supplying deficient members to familiar series of compounds, and in thus enlarging these series, - as in the compounds of chlorine with oxygen, and of sulphur with oxygen. But the most important feature in the recent progress of Inorganic Chemistry has been the rigorous verification which numerical data of all kinds have received, whether relating to physical laws, such as the specific heat of substances, or to chemical properties and composition. The statement of properties and relations has thus acquired a fulness and precision for many substances, which contrasts strongly with the history that could be offered of the same substances even but a very few years ago. This correction and revision of every minute branch of the science was never, indeed, more general and rapid than at the present time. The enlarged means of practical instruction in chemistry, now everywhere provided for the student, and the consequent increase in the number of able investigators, have no doubt contributed much to this result. Progress of this description cannot fail to effect the theoretical views of chemists, and to promote sound conclusions by affording an extended and safe foundation for reasoning, in a body of well established facts.
