Excerpt from General Notions of Chemistry
The Special Object Of Chemistry is the study of pheno mena, which, taken together, enable us to characterise bodies.
Bodies may be ranged in two classes: the first class com prises simple bodies; the second, compound bodies.
A simple body is one from which but a single substance can be extracted; for example, from sulphur, in whatever way it be treated, we get nothing but sulphur.
