Description
Excerpt from The New Text-Book of Chemistry, for Use in High Schools and Academies
The sole purpose of this volume is to provide an elementary course of chemistry suited to the wants of students and teachers in high schools and academies.
With this purpose in view I have endeavored, -
I. To seize upon the fundamental facts and principles of the science, and submit them to a simple and concise, but at the same time a clear and accurate, treatment.
II. To present the subjects which will be of greatest value to a student whose course of study must end when he leaves the preparatory school, and which are, at the same time, most desirable, as a preparation for higher courses, to those who may in future pursue them.
III. To thoroughly systematize the whole, securing a logical order of subjects and an arrangement of topics adapted to encourage the best methods of study and to facilitate the best methods of teaching.
IV. To encourage a complete mastery of what is undertaken, by concentrating study upon a brief course, and providing for thorough reviews at short intervals by means of summaries of principles and exercises with problems at the ends of sections or chapters.
V. To present the science in the light of modern theories, sparing no pains to make the work represent the present state of chemistry fairly and fully, so far as its elementary character will permit.
