About this title

Synopsis

The Book Of Science, Second Series, Comprising Treatises On Chemistry, Metallurgy, Mineralogy, Crystallography, Geology, Oryctology, Meteorology. Adapted To The Comprehension Of Young People is an early- to mid- nineteenth-century primer designed for youths and general readers. It presents chemistry as the study of how simple substances unite to form compounds and as foundational to geology and metallurgy, emphasizing observation and experimental illustration. The volume surveys core ideas: matter exists as solids, liquids, and gases with state depending on temperature and pressure; mechanical mixtures vs true chemical compounds; substances classified as elements or compounds, with about fifty known elements divided into non-metals and metals; and an elemental table of important substances. Major topics include chemical affinity, atomic theory and equivalents, gas behavior, water formation, acids, oxides, and salts, as well as electricity in chemistry and spontaneous combustion. Nomenclature and the relationships among acids, oxides, and salts are covered, along with practical methods for analysis and making estimates. The text references leading scientists, uses practical experiments, and links chemistry to broader geology, mineralogy, paleontology, and meteorology to present a cohesive picture of the science for young learners.
