Excerpt from Introduction to Modern Chemistry, Experimental and Theoretic: Embodying Twelve Lectures Delivered in the Royal College of Chemistry, London The following pages contain, in their latest form, with some additional developments, the introductory portion of the chemical course which the Author has annually delivered, during the last fifteen years, in the theatre of the Royal College of Chemistry. The juncture of chemical history at which this little book is published, and the peculiar educational necessities which that juncture implies, are reflected as well in the substance as in the method of tho work, the purport of which will, therefore, be best made known by a brief reference to the present posture of chemical affairs. No chemist will need to be reminded that, during the last quarter of a century, the science of chemistry has undergone a profound transformation, attended, during its accomplishment, by struggles so convulsive, as to represent what, in political parlance, would be appropriately termed a Revolution. Amidst continual accessions of fact, so rapid, so voluminous, and so heterogeneous, as almost to exceed the grasp of any single mind, chemical science has been in travail, so to speak, with new laws and principles of co-ordination, engendered, perhaps, partly by the sheer force of their own deeply-felt necessity, but partly also, and mainly duo, to the powerful initiative impulsion of a few philosophical master-minds.
