Description
Excerpt from Elements of Science and Art, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a Familiar Introduction to Natural Philosophy and Chemistry; Together With Their Application to a Variety of Elegant and Useful Arts
The original work by John Imison, entitled "The School of Arts," was some years ago put into the hands of the present editor, for the purpose of adapting it to the improved state of Philosophical Science. He engaged in the task the more readily, as lie conceived that, by giving a general and concise view of the principles of Natural Philosophy and Chemistry, and of their application to the arts, he might be, in some degree, instrumental in promoting the diffusion of science among persons deprived of the advantages of a regular education.
Having had many opportunities, in the course of his profession, of observing the great use of even a small portion of scientific knowledge to a valuable class of the community, mechanics, he kept it particularly in his view to treat the various subjects, so as to render them as easily intelligible as possible; and, in general, to adapt the explanation of them to that class for which the work was intended by the original author.
