Excerpt from Manual of Agricultural ChemistryThe present volume is based upon lectures delivered annually, for several years past, by the author, to classes of agricultural students, many of whom had already acquired some knowledge of general chemistry. There has always been difficulty in finding a text-book suited to the requirements of such students. An attempt has therefore been made in this work to present to the reader some, at least, of the many problems of agriculture on which chemistry and physics may throw light. In all cases the writer has endeavoured to avoid empiric statements, and to give, as far as possible, an explanation of the facts or phenomena described.Current literature has been freely consulted, and, whenever possible, reference to the source of the information has been given. In some few instances, perhaps, this may not have been done, for in the preparation of lecture notes it often happens that matter is incorporated without a record of its origin being made. In most cases the original paper is named, and, if foreign, the abstract in the Journal of the Chemical Society or in the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry has, if possible, also been quoted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
