Excerpt from A Compendium of the Course of Chemical Instruction in the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania: For the Use of His Pupils
After some years' experience of the difficulties above mentioned, I came to the conclusion, that the time spent in the lecture room might be rendered much more profitable, if students could be previously apprized of the chain of ideas, or the apparatus and experiments, to be subjected to attention at each lecture; especially as the memory might afterwards be refreshed by the same means. In consequence of this conviction, the minutes of my course of instruction, were printed; and subse quently, a work comprising engravings and descriptions of the larger portion of such of my apparatus and expe riments, as could in this way be advantageously elucifipart of the students. To designate the portion of the work, respecting which, candidates for degrees will not be questioned, I have had it printed in a smaller type, excepting where it was too much blended with subjects of primary importance to be separated. I wish it how ever to be understood, that I shall expect attention to the parts thus distinguished, so far as they may be necessary to a comprehension of the rest. Thus, although I do not deem it to be a part of my duty to question a pupil on pneumatics, I shall expect him to understand the ih fluence of atmospheric pressure upon chemical pheno mena, and m pneumato -chemical operations.
