Book Description
Excerpt from Conversations on Chemistry, Vol. 1: First Steps in Chemistry The necessity of repeatedly revising the matter of these books, as well as daily experience in teaching, led to my early conviction that the very first steps of a young pupil must point in this direction; I also gained assurance that such an introduction was possible, and this book is the result of my efforts. I must not omit to mention that it forms the first introductory volume, and that it will be followed as soon as possible by a second of about equal length, in which the system will be more developed. I have chosen the form of dialogue, because after several attempts it appeared to me the most suitable; moreover, I have come to the conclusion that it occupies no more space than an ordinary description, while the impression it makes is much more penetrating and lively. I venture to hope that it will be found that it is at the same time the result of a varied experience in teaching, and not an accidental choice.

Book Description
Excerpt from Conversations on Chemistry, Vol. 1: First Steps in Chemistry The causes which led me to write this work lie partly in the past, partly in the future. The former spring from the feeling of thankfulness with which I even now regard the "Schule der Chemie" of Stockhardt, whose memory still lingers among us. By a stroke of good fortune this excellent work was the first text-book of chemistry which was placed in my hands, and it influenced the whole of my subsequent activity in science. Owing to the carefully thought-out directness in representing the facts to the pupil, the skill in selecting experiments suitable to the physical and mental powers of the beginner, I have never lost touch with experiment, although I have been chiefly occupied with general questions of science. The request of the publishers, who used to issue this work, that I should write a modern Stockhardt, was both an honour and an opportunity of paying off an old debt of thankfulness. So much for the past. As regards the future, chemistry has undergone during the past century an enormous development, in which Germany has played an important part.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ...you mean the little bubbles of air that stick to the side of the glass? M. Yes, that is what I mean. When the cold water which is saturated with gas warms up, part of it must escape, and it does so in the form of bubbles, which gradually grow larger, and finally separate and rise. We have learnt something about the behaviour of oxygen when it is kept in a flask by itself, and when it is brought together with other bodies. Now we will get to know about it in the free state. P. I am curious to hear about that. M. You know that it is a constituent of air, and indeed the most active. The other constituent is called nitrogen, and animal life cannot survive in it, nor can flames burn in it, but go out. As air penetrates everywhere, so oxygen can penetrate everywhere, and it combines with substances which are present; that has happened as long as our earth has been in the same condition as it is now; that is, for thousands and thousands of years. The consequence is, that everywhere on the earth's surface compounds of oxygen are to be found. Most of the substances which we know contain oxygen. Compounds of other elements with oxygen are called oxides. The word oxygen comes from the Greek and means an acid substance. P. What has it to do with acid? It isn't acid, surely? M. It occurs in many acid substances. It was formerly believed that its presence was necessary to the existence of acid substances, but that has subsequently been found to be erroneous. P. Why did they keep the false name? M. Nobody thinks about it now, so it doesn't matter. But we will leave the name and go back to the thing. You know that by burning fuel we not only warm our houses in winter, but we drive our machines, lift weights, in fact, do all sorts of work that we require...

Book Description
Excerpt from Conversations on Chemistry, Vol. 1 of 2: In Which the Elements of That Science Are Familiarly Explained and Illustrated by Experiments In venturing to offer to the public, and more particularly to the female sex, an Introduction to Chemistry, the author, herself a woman, conceives that some explanation may be required; and she feels it the more necessary to apologise for the present undertaking, as her knowledge of the subject is but recent, and as she can have no real claims to the title of chemist. On attending for the first time experimental lectures, the author found it almost impossible to derive any clear or satisfactory information from the rapid demonstrations which are usually, and perhaps necessarily, crowded into popular courses of this kind.
