Excerpt from Chemical Commerce and Its Commodities: A Valedictory AddressIn the lectures which it has been my privilege to deliver to you, during your connection with this institution, I have de scribed the elements which constitute the air, the water, and the earth, for the most part, each distinct from the other. I have sought, the better to illustrate their varied natures and proper ties, to isolate each, for the time, from the great mass to which it belonged and of which it formed a part, even as the anato mist has held to your view a single detached bone, nerve or muscle of a once living man, so have I presented to you little fragments of the great, living, moving earth.To-night, probably the last time I shall ever address you all, I could conceive of no more fitting subject than the reciprocal relations which these elements bear to each other in the uni verse which they unite to form. From the chemistry of the lecture-room, then, let us turn to that grander aspect of the sci ence as presented in the works of God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
