Excerpt from An Outline of the Sciences of Heat and Electricity The present volume may be considered as a new and enlarged edition of the first 172 pages of the first volume of my System of Chemistry. The second part, on Electricity, is published to fulfil a promise which I gave to the public many years ago. I have withheld it thus long from an unwillingness to encroach beyond what was absolutely necessary on the pecuniary resources of the students. This second part, instead of an abridgement, constitutes, in fact, an extension of my lectures on electricity. In the College of Glasgow the science of electricity belongs, not to the Professor of Chemistry, but to the Professor of Natural Philosophy. This induces me to confine my observations on it to those branches only that are most intimately connected with Chemistry. But I conceive that the connexion between Electricity and Chemistry is now so close that it is impossible to be master of the latter with out being at least acquainted with the principles of the former.
