Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Chemistry, on the Basis of Mr. Nicholson's, Vol. 1 of 2: In Which the Principles of the Science Are Investigated Anew, and Its Applications to the Phenomena of Nature, Medicine, Mineralogy, Agriculture, and Manufactures, Detailed; With an Introductory Dissertation; Containing Instructions for Converting the Alp In this Introduction I shall first present a General View of the objects of chemistry, along with a scheme for converting the alphabetical arrangement adopted in this volume, into a systematic order of study. I shall then describe the manner in which this Dictionary seems to have been originally compiled, and the circumstances under which its present regeneration has been attempted. This exposition will naturally lead to an account of the principles on which the investigations of chemical theory and facts have been conducted, which distinguish this Work from a mere compilation. Some notice is then given of a treatise on practical chemistry, publicly announced by me upwards of three years ago, and of the peculiar circumstances of my situation as a teacher, which prompted me to undertake it, though its execution has been delayed by various obstructions. The forms of matter are numberless, and subject to incessant change. Amid all this variety which perplexes the common mind, the eye of science discerns a few unchangeable primary bodies, by whose reciprocal actions and combinations, this marvellous diversity and rotation of existence, are produced and maintained. These bodies, having resisted every attempt to resolve them into simpler forms of matter, are called undecomfounded, and must be regarded in the present state of our knowledge as experimental elements. It is possible that the elements of nature are very dissimilar; it is probable that they are altogether unknown; and that they are so recondite, as for ever to elude the sagacity of human research. The primary substances which can be subjected to measurement and weight, are fifty-three in number. To these, some chemists add the imponderable elements, - light, heat, electricity, and magnetism. But their separate identity is not clearly ascertained. Of the fifty-three ponderable principles, certainly three, possibly four, require a distinct collocation from the marked peculiarity of their powers and properties. These are named Chlorine, Oxygen, Iodine (and Fluorine?) These bodies display a pre-eminent activity of combination, an intense affinity for most of the other forty-nine bodies, which they corrode, penetrate, and dissolve; or, by uniting with them, so impair their cohesive force, that they become friable, brittle, or soluble in water, however dense, refractory, and insoluble they previously were. Such changes, for example, are effected on platinum, gold, silver, and iron, by the agency of chlorine, oxygen, or iodine. But the characteristic feature of these archeal elements is this, that when a compound consisting of one of them, and one of the other forty-nine more passive elements, is exposed to voltaic electrization, the former is uniformly evolved at the positive or vitreo-electric pole, while the latter appears at the negative or rasino-electric pole.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Chemistry, on the Basis of Mr. Nicholson's, Vol. 2: In Which the Principles of the Science Are Investigated Anew, and Its Applications to the Phenomena of Nature, Medicine, Mineralogy, Agriculture, and Manufactures, Detailed If we suspend close together, by sill: threads, two cylinders of rush-pith, and touch their lower ends with either the rub bed wax or glass, the pieces of pith will instantly recede from each other at a con siderable angle. If we now merely ap proach to the bottom of the diverging cy linders, the rod with which they had been touched, their divergence will increase; but if we approach the other rod, they will instantly collapse through their whole extent. When the rods are rubbed in the dark, a lambent light seems diffused over them, and a pungent spark will pass into a. Knuckle brought near them. If the per son who makes these experiments happens to stand on a cake of wax, or a stool with glass feet, then on rubbing the glass tube, he will acquire the above attractive and repulsive powers; but the light bodies re pelled by the tube, will be attracted by his body, and vice versa. Hence we see, that the rubbing body acquires electrical pro perties, dissimilar to those acquired by the substances rubbed.
