204 LECTURES AT THE ROYAL INSTITUTION. 



In the First Division of each Course, the principles and objects of Chemical 

 Science, and the general Laws of Chemical Changes, are explained, aud the phe- 

 nomena of Attraction, and of Light, Heat, and Electricity developed and illustrated 

 by numerous Experiments. 



In the Second Division, the undecompounded bodies are examined, and the modes 

 of procuring them in a pure form, and of ascertaining their chemical characters, exhi- 

 bited upon an extended scale. — The Lectures on the Metals include a succinct account 

 of Mineralogy, and of the methods of analyzing and assaying Ores. 



This part of the Course will also contain a full examination of Pharmaceutical Chemistry ; 

 the Chemical Processes of the Pharmacopoeia? iviU he particularly described, and compared 

 with those adopted by the Manufacturer. 



The Third and Fourth DivisiONsjelate to Organic Substances.— The Chemical 

 changes induced by Vegetation are here inquired into ; the Principles of Vegetables, 

 the Theory of Fermentation, and the Character of its Products are then examined. 



The Chemical History of Animals is the next object of inquiry— it is illus- 

 trated by an examination of their component parts, in health, and in disease ; by an 

 inquiry into the Chemistry of Animal Functions, and into the application of Che- 

 mical Principles to the treatment of Diseases. 



The Courses conclude with an Account of the Structure of the Earth, 

 of the Changes which it is undergoing, of the objects and uses of Geology, and of 

 the principles of Agricultural Chemistry. 



The applications of Chemistry to the Arts and Manufactures, and to Economical Purposes, 

 are discussed at some length in various parts of the Courses ; and the most important of them 

 are experimentally exhibited. Tlie various operations of Analysis are also shewn and 

 explained. 



The Admission Fee to each Course is Four Guineas ; or, by paying Eight Guineas, 

 Gentlemen are entitled to attend for an unlimited time. Gentlemen, who are in 

 actual attendance at the Medical and Anatomical Schools in London, are admitted to
