Excerpt from Modern Science Reader: With Special Reference to Chemistry

This book provides a partial course of reading in Chemistry for college men and general readers, and indicates further matter of an interesting and instructive nature. It is the first volume of a series of Readers which will contain reprints of modern papers and addresses, gathered from many sources and edited to suit the purposes herein explained.

It is our experience with college men that parallel reading, more than any other influence, conduces to interest in text-book matter, especially in first-year courses in science. It broadens the student's views, enlivens the subject and shows its bearing upon the work and problems of life. We believe that some reading of good scientific literature in each distinct branch of Natural Science should be required of every undergraduate; this volume attempts to supply suitable matter for Chemistry. We seek to help teachers to introduce such literature and its authors to college students, and to acquaint students with the more easily available sources of reliable articles of a popular nature. It is hoped that these readers will be of special service to teachers of large classes, where the inspiration of personal contact is necessarily small; and also that they will help to awaken interest in science among those who think they have no aptitude for such branches of knowledge.

We have had in mind, also, persons who are seeking knowledge without the aid of a teacher. Definite information for reading and home study is given, such as the editor now wishes he had known how to obtain while in business, before going to college or expecting ever to have the time to do so. We wish to increase the service of popular science by aiding readers of such to find good matter.
