The History of Chemistry, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by Thomas Thomson Pdf

Excerpt from The History of Chemistry, Vol. 1 of 2 It is natural to feel a desire to be acquainted with the origin and the progress of such a science; and to know something of the history and character of those numerous votaries to whom it is indebted for its pro gress and improvement. The object of this little Work is to gratify these laudable wishes, by taking a rapid View of the progress of Chemistry, from its first rude and disgraceful beginnings till it has reached its pre sent state of importance and dignity. I shall divide the subject into fifteen chapters. In'the first I shall treat of Alchymy, which may be considered as the in auspicious commencement of the science, and which, in fact, consists of little else than an account of dupes and impostors; every where so full of fiction and oh scurity, that it is a hopeless and almost impossible task to reach the truth. In the second Chapter I shall endeavour to point out the few small chemical rills, which were known to the ancients. These I shall fol low in their progress, in the succeeding chapters, till at last, augmented by an infinite number of streams owing at once from a thousand different quarters, they have swelled to the mighty river, which now ows ou majestically, wafting wealth and information to the civilized world.

The First History of Chemistry (Classic Reprint) by John Ferguson Pdf

Excerpt from The First History of Chemistry 1. - Next to the interest of tracing the growth of the science of chemistry by its history, is that of observing how this history was regarded at particular epochs; that is, of observing how the development of historical views kept pace with that of the science itself. The history of any period in chemistry must always be coloured more or less by the ideas current at the time of its writing; it must be tacitly or professedly a consideration and narrative, if not a criticism, of past events from the standpoint of a later time, while necessarily limited by that time. The historian, indeed, can hardly be in line with, much less venture to transcend, the most novel discoveries and hypotheses of his contemporaries, he must take up his position on what seem to be the best established doctrines of his time. Thus, for example, while it was quite impossible that Bergman could have written a history of the events connected with oxygen - because for him they either had not come into existence at all, or else were just shaping themselves - it was equally impossible for him to have judged the alchemical period in the same way as was done by Olaus Borrichius, a century earlier. For, during that century, discovery and theory and knowledge had greatly advanced, the period during which Bergman lived was no longer one in which a belief in the reality, or even possibility, of transmutation prevailed, but was that of the much more comprehensive hypothesis of phlogiston, and he of necessity judged the past through the medium of that hypothesis. Or, to select a still more striking case, which the author about to be spoken of affords. If we compare the view of the Greek alchemical manuscripts taken three hundred years ago by the French chemist, Vallensis with that in the work published this last year on the same subject by one of the leading French chemists of the present time, M. Berthelot, we shall see in how entirely different a manner the same topic is treated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A History of Chemistry (Classic Reprint) by F. J. Moore Pdf

Excerpt from A History of Chemistry This volume is the outgrowth of a series of talks which the author has for several years given to his students at the Institute of Technology, the hearers being members of the senior class specializing in chemistry, and hence familiar with its more impor tant facts and principles. The lectures have dealt in a direct informal way with the fundamental ideas of the science: their origin, their philosophical basis, the critical periods in their development, and the personalities of the great men whose efforts have contributed to that development.

The History of Chemistry by John Hudson Pdf

This book is written as a result of a personal conviction of the value of incorporating historical material into the teaching of chemistry, both at school and undergraduate level. Indeed, it is highly desirable that an undergraduate course in chemistry incorporates a separate module on the history of chemistry. This book is therefore aimed at teachers and students of chemistry, and it will also appeal to practising chemists. While the last 25 years has seen the appearance of a large number of specialist scholarly publications on the history of chemistry, there has been little written in the way of an introductory overview of the subject. This book fills that gap. It incorporates some of the results of recent research, and the text is illustrated throughout. Clearly, a book of this length has to be highly selective in its coverage, but it describes the themes and personalities which in the author's opinion have been of greatest importance in the development of the subject. The famous American historian of science, Henry Guerlac, wrote: 'It is the central business of the historian of science to reconstruct the story of the acquisition of this knowledge and the refinement of its method or methods, and-perhaps above all-to study science as a human activity and learn how it arose, how it developed and expanded, and how it has influenced or been influenced by man's material, intellectual, and even spiritual aspirations' (Guerlac, 1977). This book attempts to describe the development of chemistry in these terms.
