Excerpt from Conversations on Chemistry: In Which the Elements of That Science Are Familiarly Explained, and Illustrated by Experiments
On attending for the first time experimental lectures, the outlier found it almost impossible to derive any clear or satisfactory infer mation from the rapid demonstrations which are usual] and haps necessarily, crowded into popular courses of this ind. Ut fi'equent opportunities having afterwards occurred of conversing with a friend on the subject of chemistry, and of repeating a variety of experiments,she became better acquainted with the principles of that science, and began to feel highly interested in its pursuits. It was then that she perceived, in attending to the excellent lectures delivered at the Royal Institution by the present professor of Che mistry, the great advantage which her previous knowledge of the subject, slight as it was, gave her over others who had not enjoyed the same means of private instruction. Every first or experiment attracted her attention, and served to explain some theory to which she was not a total stran er; and she had the gratification to find that the numerous and e egant illustrations, for which that school is so much distinguished, seldom failed to produce on her mind the effect tbr which they were intended.
