Excerpt from The Elements of Experimental Chemistry, Vol. 1 of 2 It is impossible to direct our views to the future im provement of this wide field of science, without deeply lamenting the privation, which we have lately sustained, of two of its most successful cultivators, Sir Humphry Davy and Dr. Wollaston, - at a period of life, too, when it seemed reasonable to have expected, from each of them, a much longer continuance of his invaluable labours. To those high gifts of nature, which are the characteris tics of genius, and which'eonstitute its very essence, both those eminent men united an unwearied industry and zeal in research, and habits of accurate reasoning, with out which even the energies of genius are inadequate to the achievement of great scientific designs. With these excellencies, common to both, they were nevertheless dis tinguishable by marked intellectual peculiarities. Bold.

Excerpt from The Elements of Experimental Chemistry, Vol. 2 of 2 When the deutoxide is boiled with weak nitric acid, a portion of it parts with oxygen, and enters into solution in the state of protox ide, while the remainder is converted into peroxide, which is' black, and insoluble in all acids except such as deprive it of oxygen. On evaporating the nitric solution, and heatin the product to redness, peroxide is left, which, however, if not su ciently heated, still holds a little nitric acid; and if too strongly, parts with a little oxygen. Owing to this uncertainty, ' Dr. Turner does not rely on artificial per oxide for purposes of analysis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Elements of Experimental Chemistry: Vols. I and II Though no pains have been spared to render the work a faithful abstract to the present state of Chemistry, yet it is not improbable that errors and omissions may still be discovered in it. In rectify ing these, I hope to be assisted by a continuance of those candid criticisms, both through public and private channels of communi cation, to which I have already been greatly indebted.
