Synopsis

The Subject Matter Of. Ten Lectures On Some Of The Arts Connected With Organic Chemistry, Arranged From The Lecturer's Notes By J. Scoffern by William Thomas Brande. This work presents a historically important course of ten lectures on the practical applications of organic chemistry to arts and manufacturing processes. Delivered at the Royal Institution in 1852, the lectures were Brande’s farewell series after a long career as a chemist, and they cover topics from textile dyeing and calico-printing to the chemistry of gelatin, tanning, and sugar, as well as the chemistry of fatty bodies, hydrocarbons, nitrogenous substances, and the phenomena of fermentation. The editor, J. Scoffern, arranged Brande’s notes for publication, adding remarks on chemical philosophy, allotropy, and ozone, and providing practical details on experiments and industrial techniques. The book thus surveys how chemical science underpins dyeing, bleaching, leather production, sugar manufacture, soap and candles, and many related processes, illustrating the deep links between chemistry, technology, and industrial practice in the mid-19th century. Original publication year is 1864 (MDCCCLIV) with Brande’s lectures originally delivered in 1852.
