Excerpt from The Chemical Catechism: With Notes, Illustrations, and Experiments
Though the author might now, perhaps, be justified in omitting to state the motives that first induced him to en age in writing a Treatise on Chemistry, it may nevertheless be 0 served, that, in considering the great importance of chemistry to the arts and manufactures, it occurred to him, that an initiatory book, in which simplicity was united with perspicuity, would be an acceptable present to a variety of persons, who have not had liesure or opportunity to study more elaborate works; and especially to those parents who are not qualified by previous acquirements, to instruct their children in the elements of this science, than which there can be nothing more essential, in whatever line of life they may be destined to move. As an attempt, therefore, to supply this desideratum, The Chemical Catec ism was first prepared for the eye of the public, - the author having, at the same time, had it in his contemplation to exhibit, in a po ular form, a body of incontrovertible evidence of the wisdom an beneficence of the Deity, in the establishment and modification of those laws of mat ter which are so infinitely and beautifully varied, and whose ope ration is too minute to be the object of general notice. For, if it could be proved to the satisfaction of youth, that matter is subject to a vut variety of laws which escape common observance, and that, in the adjustment of those laws, the utmost attention, if it may be so expressed, has been paid to our convenience and com fort,-such a detail, it was imagined, would tend to make a more indelible impression on the youn mind, than the display of the me goodness in the operation O causes which come under our daily notice and observation.
