Synopsis

This book, first published in 1890, explains the laws of chemistry to beginners and advanced students. Many chemical theories are presented, but always with emphasis on the empirical observations on which they are based. It was an early advocate for the atomic theory and argued for the distinction between atoms and molecules. At the time of publication, many scientists still questioned the existence of atoms, but this book provides extensive reasoning and evidence to support their reality. The author, a prominent chemist at Brown University, discusses topics such as heat, light, and electricity in relation to chemical change and the physical states of matter. He also covers important chemical principles like Avogadro's hypothesis and the periodic law. This book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the development of chemistry.
