A General System Of Chemical Knowledge: And Its Application To The Phenomena Of Nature And Art. In Eleven Vols - Softcover
Synopsis
A General System Of Chemical Knowledge: And Its Application To The Phenomena Of Nature And Art. In Eleven Vols is a systematic, nineteenth-century chemical encyclopedia authored by Comte Antoine-François De Fourcroy. The volume reviewed here (the third in a translated eleven-volume project) elaborates Fourcroy’s method for organizing chemical knowledge around the classification and treatment of salts. It presents a comprehensive survey of common salt families, including alkaline and earthy sulphates, sulphites, nitrates, oxides, borates, phosphates, fluorates, and borates, and it outlines a rigorous nomenclature that identifies a salt by the acid portion and the base portion, with states such as saturated, acidulous, or super-oxygenated forms. The work proceeds through detailed sections: synonomy and history, generic properties, specific characters, extraction, decomposition by caloric, reactions with acids and bases, natural occurrence, and uses. It emphasizes the eight or eleven planned categories that structure chemical truths, their mutual relations, and practical applications in medicine, metallurgy, agriculture, and industry. The volume exemplifies Fourcroy’s ambitious, method-driven project to expand science through systematization.
