The author details the fundamental chemical principles, properties of atoms, and important chemical reactions. After defining essential terms, the author describes the history of chemical equations and outlines the important classifications for inorganic and organic substances. Of note are the discussions on the composition, structures, and characteristics of atoms, radicals, and molecules as well as the descriptions of how elements and compounds interact with each other. The author concludes with a discussion of physical and chemical phenomena and their significance to both chemical reactions and the classification of mixtures, solutions, alloys, and amalgams. This book presents a thorough and accessible overview of the basic principles of chemistry, making it an indispensable reference for students, researchers, and anyone seeking to expand their knowledge of this foundational science.

Notes on Military Explosives has given an opportunity to bring them up-todate and to include such changes bearing upon the manufacture, use, storage, and transportation of military explosives as have developed during the last four years. It has particularly given the opportunity to introduce certain changes that have developed in connection with the European war. The more important of these latter changes have been the substitution of wood pulp for cotton in the manufacture of the nitrocellulose explosives, and the fixation of the nitrogen of the air by the three separate processes which are now iployed. Both of these important changes have been due to the ingenuity, cleverness, and skill of the German chemists. Generally speaking, there have been no new explosives introduced, and it would seem that in the matter of explosives the field is limited, apparently somewhat definitely, to the nitrocellulose series, the nitroglycerin series, the nitrobenzene series, the alkaline-metallic nitrate mixtures, and to a combination of two or more of these with the others. The great propellent explosive for guns continues to be nitrocellulose, alone or in combination with nitroglycerin. The explosive for charging shells appears to have been quite definitely reduced to picric acid or some derivative thereof; that for submarine mines and torpedoes to trinitrotoluol or guncotton. As to the old nitrate mixtures, they appear to be limited to hand grenades, rockets, and pyrotechnics. There has been inserted in the appendix of this edition a discussion of The Role of Chemistry in the War by Allerton S. Cushman, Ph. D., Director of the Institute of Industrial
