The Elements of Chemistry: A Textbook (Classic Reprint)

Author sI ntroduction to theS tudy of Chemistry. It is, however, materially simpler in many parts, and is in every way better adapted to younger pupils. In the opinion of the author a rational course in chemistry, whether for younger or older pupils, is something more than a lot of statements of facts of more or less importance ;a lot of experiments of more or less beauty; a lot of rules devised for the purpose of enabling the pupil to tell what things are made of. If the course does not to some extent help the pupil to think as well as to see, to reason as well as to observe, it does not deserve to be called rational. Not only must the pupil perform experiments, but he must know why he performs them, and what they teach.
