Excerpt from The Principles of Chemistry: Illustrated by Simple Experiments

The following work has been translated, at the recommendation of Professor Horsford, as a good introduction to the study of chemistry.

Such alterations only have been made in the text, as were required to adapt it to use in this country. Other changes might have been desirable, such as substituting the hydrogen for the oxygen scale of equivalent weights, the Fahrenheit instead of the Centigrade thermometrical scale, the adoption in every instance of a scientific instead of a popular nomenclature, &c.; but, after due deliberation, it was concluded not to depart from the original, except when absolutely necessary to do so. Where alterations in modes of expression, &c., have been made, the meaning of the author has been carefully retained.
