Excerpt from Chemical Technology, or Chemistry in Its Applications to Arts and Manufactures, Vol. 4: With Which Is Incorporated Richardson and Watts' Chemical Technology; Electric Lighting; Photometry
It is hoped that the work may be read with facility by any one who has an elementary knowledge of Electricity and Magnetism, or even that knowledge which every educated person will acquire by observation without further instruction and reading. Efforts have been made to avoid gaps in the logical continuity of the argument; and to simplify formula by a reduction to the minimum of all minor corrections necessary to professional exactness. In short, the aim is a readable treatise, as well as a work of reference. Details which are likely to be ephemeral only appear as examples; and the examples of manufacture chosen for description, or theory of design, are not necessarily those believed to be the most recent or the best, but such as are thought serviceable for expounding the principles and methods of manufacture and working.
