PLAN 
OF 
THE LECTURES AND DEMONSTRATIONS ON 
CHEMISTRY, 
DELIVERED IN THE LABORATORY OF THE ROYAL INSTITUTION, 
BY WILLIAM THOMAS BRANDE, F.R.S., 
Secretary of the Royal Society of London, and F.R.S. Edinburgh; Professor of 
Chemistry in the Royal Institution, and of Chemistry and Materia 
Medica to the Apothecaries’ Company. 
These Lectures commence on the SEconD TuESDAY in OcroBeER, at Nine 
in the Morning, and are continued every Tuesday, Thursday, and 
Saturday. Two Courses are given during the Season, which begins 
in October, and terminates in June. 
In the First Diviston of each Course, the principles and objects of 
Chemical Science, and the general Laws of Chemical Changes, are ex- 
plained, and the phenomena of Attraction, and of Light, Heat, and Elec- 
tricity developed, and illustrated by numerous Experiments. 
In the SEconD Diviston, the undecompounded bodies are examined, and 
the modes of procuring them in a pure form, and of ascertaining their che- 
mical characters, exhibited upon an extended scale.—The Lectures on the 
Metals include a succinct account of Mineralogy, and of the methods of ana- 
lyzing and assaying Ores. 
This part of the Course will alse contain a full examination of Pharmaceutical 
Chemistry ; the Chemical Processes of the Pharmacopceiz will be particularly 
described, and compared with those adopted by the Manufacturer. 
The Turrp and FourtH Divisions relate to Organic Substances.—The 
Chemical changes induced by Vegetation are here inquired into ; the Prin- 
ciples of Vegetables, the Theory of Fermentation, and the Character of its 
Products are then examined. 
Tue CuemicaL 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 Animal Functions, and into 
the application of Chemical 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 Econo- 
mical Purposes, are discussed at some length in various parts of the Courses ; and 
the most important of them are experimentally exhibited. The various operations 
of Analysis are also shewn and explained. 
Further particulars may be had by applying to Mr. Brande, No. 2, 
Clarges-Street, Piccadilly ; or to Mr. Fincher, at the Royal Institution, 
21, Albemarle-Street.
