Excerpt from An Introduction to Chemical Engineering: An Elementary Textbook for the Use of Students and Users of Chemical Machinery This book has been prepared for the student of chemistry who has received a fair grounding in that science together with the correlated subjects of physics and mathematics. Chemistry is one of the most interesting and educative of the sciences, and probably stands alone in that it is practical in the true sense of the word, for many of the operations carried out in the school laboratory are iden tical in method with, and on the same scale as, similar Operations in industry. Previous to the war, except in the case of our great colleges, chemistry had been almost completely banned from the curriculum, owing mainly to the travesty of the subject that was taught for the purposes of passing stupid examinations set by charlatan educationists. Although the evil they did still lives, there are not wanting signs of a new and healthy growth of interest in this universally operating science. The author has to thank the several manufacturers for their ready assistance in the preparation of much that is in the book, and F. E. Palmer, Esq., for the execution and revision of various diagrams. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
