Extremely rare and collectible! Very very scarce and hard-to-find! "A man who has spent the best part of his life in the law, and in maturer years ventures to publish articles dealing with chemistry, owes an apology to his readers. This booklet was written merely because I felt inclined to write it. I thought a popular account of the recent work on the structure of the atom and some kindred topics would be acceptable if it were written in an easy and not too serious a style, and if it were free from the mathematical formulae, which are a very necessary part of the subject, if it is to be adequately treated, but are wearisome to many who are content to know only the general lines on which modern ideas are moving." Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
