    PREFACE. Many valuable and comprehensive Manuals of Chemistry now exist, but it appeared to the publisher and writer of this work that a Manual might yet find a useful place, which would present a comprehensive view of the more essential facts of Chemistry within a very moderate compass. To effect this, everything like an excrescence has been lopped off. 'Thus the subjects of Heat, Light, and Electricity, are treated of only in so far as these forces affect chemical action. Animal Chemistry and Organic Chemistry generally are treated more fully than Inorganic Chemistry. A glossary is appended to the work. For some of the. microscopic illustrations, the recent work of MM. Eobins et Yerdeil has been consulted; * and the student desirous of more minute investigation of Animal Chemistry, is recommended to consult that excellent work. The author begs here to express his thanks to Dr. Cogswell for his valuable assistance. London, Dec. 6th, 1854. * Trait6 d'Anatomie Chimique. Paris : Bailliere, 1853,
