Excerpt from Modern Theories of Chemistry IN undertaking this translation we have been actuated by a desire to make Lothar Meyer's Modems Theorien der Chemie as accessible to the English student of chemistry as it is to his contemporary in Germany. The original has already passed through four editions; and if testimony were needed as to the esteem in which this book is held, it can surely be found in the fact that no sooner had the fourth edition been completed than a fifth was demanded.

Excerpt from Principles of Chemistry: Founded on Modern Theories It will be noticed that casts of the original plates have been used, and that two or three of them contain a few words of explanation in the original language. To obviate this would have required the engraving of new plates, which was not considered necessary. My warmest thanks are due to Dr. Stevenson for kindly undertaking the labour of revising the proof-sheets as the work passed through the press, and thereby imparting to it a guarantee of correctness and an authority which it would not otherwise have possessed.

Excerpt from Molecules and the Molecular Theory of Matter Throughout this volume I have considered molecules in' their physical aspect. There are numerous excellent works that discuss the chemical aspect of the molecular theory satisfactorily, of which the following may be particularly recommended: Meyer's Modern Theories of Chemistry, Rem sen's Theoretical Chemistry, Ostwald's Outlines of General Chemistry, and Mendeleiefi's Principles of Chemistry.

Excerpt from The New Chemistry The lectures now published were delivered before the Lowell Institute, in Boston, in the autumn of 1872. They shed to present the modern theories of chem iatry to an intelligent but not a professional audience, and to give to the philosophy of the science a logi cal consistency, by resting it on the law of Avogadro. Since many of the audience had studied the elements of chemistry, as they were formerly taught under the dualistic system, it was also made an object to point out the chief characteristics by which the new chemistry differed from the old. The limitations of a course of popular lectures necessarily precluded a full prescn ta tion of the subject, and only the more prominent and less technical features of the new system were discussed. In writing out his notes for the press, the author has retained the lecture style, because it is so well adapted for the popular exposition of scientific subjects; but Im.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Chemical Philosophy According to the Modern Theories At. A time when the philosophy bof 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.
