Abstract
THE present work, founded, as the editor states, on a “First Book of Chemistry,” by Dr. Worthington Hooker, published in America, is intended for the use of children. Mr. Rigg calls attention to the inquiries of “young persons” as generally suggested by their observations of things touched and handled, and states that his aim has been “To supply information in a form which it is hoped may be intelligible and interesting to all parties concerned in thus learning to read the ever open book of nature.”
An Easy Introduction to Chemistry.
Edited by the Rev. Arthur Rigg, late Principal of the College, Chester. (Rivingtons: London, Oxford, and Cambridge, 1873.)
