    have been sometimes omitted, and for such omissions, I now beg to apologize. The systematic and elementary works that I have chiefly relied on for assistance, are the systems of Dr. Thomas Thomson, ol Dr. John Murray, and of M. Thenard; and the Elements of Sir Humphry Davy, and of Dr. William Henry. The Chemical Dictionary of Messrs. Aikin, I have also often consulted with much advantage, especially in relation to the Che- mistry of the Arts. Much of this work has been written in the Laboratory, where the results of experiments have been immediately transferred to its pages ; and where I have uniformly received the active and able assistance of Mr. M. Faraday, whose accuracy and skill as an operator have proved of essential service in all my proceedings. A view of the interior of the Laboratory of the Royal Institution forms the Frontispiece to this volume; I have selected it for description on account of its completeness and conve- nience ; it comprises all that can be re- quired in the pursuit of experimental chemistry,
