Excerpt from A Course in Scientific GermanIn writing the vocabulary I have endeavored to meet the needs of the student of science by limiting it to the purely scientific terms occurring in works on physical, chem ical, mineralogical, and botanical subj ects, together with the more important geologi ca], mathematical, and astronom ical terms, omitting the greater number of the mechanical and commercial phrases to which so much space is devoted in Dictionaries of Technical Terms. In spite of the labor and care expended on this part of my work, I am conscious that, in my endeavor to condense my material as much as possible, I have omitted some words which ought to have been given, in the german-english part I have left out a few physical terms, such as achromatisch, achro matic, Cohäsion, cohssz'on, and convex, convex, the meanings of which are evident from their great similari ty to their English equivalents. In both parts of the vocabulary the German words have been printed in full-faced type and their English equivalents in italics, for the sake of uni formity and preventing confusion in looking out words.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
