Book Description
Excerpt from The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, Vol. 2: July-December, 1876 Now whatever theory we may hold concerning the consti tution of matter, it can scarcely be denied that our ordinary formulae do tell us the weights of those kinds of matter which take part in a given chemical reaction, or of those which result from that reaction. To the principle of the conserva tion of matter the writer already quoted appears to object. He would seemingly refuse his assent unless some one could experimentally prove to him that a given chemical compound has the same composition now that it had a hundred years ago.
