A FEW REMARKS ON THE VALUE OF 

 CHEMISTRY, 



BY j. N. HEARDER; 



TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF AN ACCIDENT 

 WHICH DEPRIVED HIM OF SIGHT. 



This account has been written at the instigation of 

 several friends who considered that the author would 

 be doing himself an injustice if he did not endeavour 

 to correct the erroneous and vague notions that have 

 been current among some individuals respecting the 

 the accident which happened to him nearly twelve 

 months since, by giving a concise statement of the 

 manner in which it occurred. 



It is absurdly imagined by many persons, when they 

 hear of a man's devoting his time to trying experi- 

 ments, as it is termed, that he is following up a dan- 

 gerous pursuit which has for its object only his own 

 amusement and frolic, and which cannot be of the least 

 benefit, but on the contrary often proves a source of 

 annoyance, to those who may happen to be in any way 

 connected with him, consequently the mere name of an 

 experiment is sufficient to excite in many a sensation 

 approaching to terror.
