Excerpt from Chemistry, Its Evolution and Achievements

Works of this description, - Science Sketches would seem an appropriate designation for them, - should prove wel come to all who take a general interest in science. They should be of value to students entering upon some special field of study, presenting them with a general survey of their chosen ground, and per chance might be acceptable even to workers in various branches of science, affording them a ready acquaintance with the trend of thought in domains of learn ing other than their own.

Some knowledge of the various phases through which a science has passed is,moreover, of value in teaching one to place a more just - perhaps it were better to say, a more modest - estimate on the theories of the day. For, while it is indisputable that a truth once discovered is never lost, although the form in which it is embodied may be altered, yet it is also beyond question that doctrines and dicta pass away, even as the men who formulate and pronounce them.
