216 Mr. Brande's Lectures on Chemistry. 



phasnomena of Attraction, Heat, Electricity, and Radiant Matter, de- 

 veloped, and illustrated by numerous experiments. The undecom- 

 pounded bodies are then examined, and the modes of procuring them 

 in a pure form, and of ascertaining their Chemical characters, exhibited 

 upon an extended scale. — The Lectures on the Metals include a suc- 

 cinct account of Mineralogy, and of the methods of analyzing and 

 assaying Ores. This part of the Course will also contain a full exa- 

 mination of Pharmaceutical Chemistry ; the Chemical Processes of the 

 Pharmacopoeics will be particularly described, and compared with those 

 adopted by the manufacturer. 



The Second Course relates 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 

 illustrated by an examination of their Component Parts, in health and 

 in disease : by an inquiry into the Chemistry of the Animal Functions, 

 and into the application of Chemical Principles to the treatment of 

 Diseases. 



The Course concludes with an account of the Structure of the 

 Earth, of the changes which it is undergoing, af 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 Course ; and the most important of them are experimentally 

 exhibited. 



A New Edition of Mr. Brande's Manual of Chemistry, intended as a Text- 

 Book for these Lectures, will be published in the course of the season. 



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

 neas, Gentlemen are entitled to attend for an unlimited time. 



Life and Annual Subscribers to the Royal Institution are admitted to the above 

 Lectures, on payment of Two Guineas for each Course ; or, by paying six Guineas,
