Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Year College Chemistry With many of the most important topics, the historical method of treatment has been used. This consumes a little more time, but it serves to introduce the student to the pioneers of our science, and attracts those who are interested in the personal side. The same end is furthered by the use of footnotes introducing the persons mentioned in the text, and referring to books and papers where further informa tion may be found. The treatment throughout the course is intended to lead the student to feel that Chemistry is a growing science. To this end, the author often discusses questions which are still unsolved and upon which work is now being done; and in many cases also, the values presented are frankly acknowledged to have only a temporary standing. Neither the choice of topics nor the treatment of those which have been chosen will suit every reader. The aim has been to emphasize those principles which are of fundamental importance to every chemist who aspires to be something more than an analyst, and to treat them in such a way that the second-year student, with his poor perspective, may constantly feel that he is master of the situation. Moreover, the course is not intended to usurp the place held by formal Physical Chemistry. It is intended only to place in the student's hands, at the earliest possible moment, some of the indispensable tools of the science. It does serve, however, as an introduction to Physical Chem istry, and it causes the student to feel the need of such a course and to look upon it as a logical and necessary step in advance.
