Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lessons in Chemical Philosophy This book is a formal presentation of certain subjects which the author has been in the habit of offering to his classes in lectures. It is intended to explain to beginners, or even tolerably advanced students in chemistry, certain of the general laws of the science, and that in a compact and easily handled form. To a certain extent theories are given. While these have their important use, they must not be relied upon too strongly. Theories, says Dumas, are like crutches. To find out their value we must try to walk with them. On the other hand, where theories have been presented in this work, effort has been made to show distinctly the basis upon which they rest. Particularly in the chapters relating to atomic weight the attempt has been made to lead the pupil to carefully distinguish between facts and inferences. The efforts of investigators in chemistry as in other natural sciences are, as Berthelot remarks, to transform a mere descriptive science into a truly physical and mechanical, i. a mathematical, one. This thought has not been forgotten in arranging the work presented herewith. At the same time the attempt has been made to avoid making the book mathematical.
