A Chemical Catechism: in which the Elements of Chemistry, with the recent Discoveries in the Science, are clearly and fully explained, illustrated by Notes, Engravings and Tables" and containing an Appendix of select Experiments, &c. Second Edition.
London, For the Author by Simkin and Marshall, 1829. Contemp. hcalf. Spine profusely gilt, titlelabel with gilt lettering. XII,616 pp., 1 engraved plate (a faint dampstain in lower right corner of plate), textillustrations. A few scattered brownspots.
Scarce first edition by the ""father of colloid chemistry"". Althougt stated to be ""Second Edition"", no earlier edition is known, and the wording of the Preface (which is dated Febr. 1829) certainly suggest that this is the first edition.""In the present work he claims to have greatly improved on the ""Chemical Catechism"" of Samuel Parkes by arranging the subject in a more logical order abd introducing sections on plant and animal chemistry, which were omitted by Parkes. There is an interesting chapter on atomic theory, with reference to Higgins and Dalton. At the end is a useful vocabulary of chemical terms."" (Neville. Historical Chemical Library, I, p.544).
