TRANSLATOR’S NOTE 
Professor Copaux’s work presents in compact, yet clear form 
a large amount of information on the principles of chemistry 
as recognized today by the leaders in the science. I have endeav- 
ored to render the text into standard English, and thus make 
it available to a wider group of readers, to whom it will be a 
valuable guide. 
Those who, like myself, began the study of chemistry just 
after the middle of the last century, will find many points of 
difference between this book and the manuals of the early days, 
yet the fundamental features of the science remain unchanged. 
The atom is still the unit of chemical action, and the balance is 
still, as in the laboratory of Lavoisier, the chemist’s main 
reliance. 
While the translation was in progress, Professor Copaux 
kindly sent a copy of the book with notes of corrections of a few 
typographic errors, and some changes in phraseology adding to 
the explicitness or comprehensiveness of the text. These 
suggestions have been given attention.
