Excerpt from An Introduction to Chemical Philosophy According to the Modern Theories At a time when the philosophy of chemistry is becoming more and more clearly apprehended, we need to be reminded of its historical development. The more acute and profound our co-ordination and interpretation of phenomena, the more careful should be our scrutiny of the successive views regarding them, which have been previously held. Such a scrutiny will serve two useful purposes, for it will correct two common and erroneous modes of thought. Thus, the technical terms finally adopted in the expression of chemical facts will cease to be vague - they will acquire a constant as well as a definite meaning; and at the same time, that narrowness of vision, which sees everything in one aspect only, will be duly enlarged. For these reasons the appearance in an English dress, and in a separate volume of Professor Wurtz's "Introduction to Chemical Philosophy," must be regarded as peculiarly seasonable.
