Sec. G. Boron, boracic acid, borates, &lc. 

 Sec. 7. Fluoric acid* and its compounds. 

 Sec. 8. Selenium — its oxide, acids and salts. 



Volume II. 





Muriatic acid — muriates. 



Chlorine— its oxides, chlorides, acid and salts, and compounds 



with combustibles. 



Iodine — its acids and salts, and other compounds. 



Bromine — its acids and salts, and other compounds. 



The Metals, including the bases of the fixed alkalies and earths 



their oxides, salts, and other compounds.

Organic Bodies. 

 I. Vegetable matter. 



Elementary and proximate principles ; spontaneous changes ; fer- 

 mentation; bread; alcohol; ether; germination; vegetation, &c. 



II. Animal matter. 



Its ultimate and proximate principles ; decomposition ; cyanogen ; 

 hydro-cyanic or prussic acid,f and the compounds of that class ; an- 

 imal acids; immediate parts of animals in connexion with the proxi- 

 mate principles that prevail in them. 



Galvanism, (included in the beginning, in the list of general pow- 

 ers, and there concisely sketched as to its agency in attraction and 

 repulsion,) is here exhibited in the necessary details, as it draws its 

 illustrations from every part of Chemistry. 



Tables. — Analysis of waters and minerals. — Addenda, &c.

It will be perceived, that the remarks already made on chemical 

 method, render unnecessary any farther elucidations of the prece- 

 ding arrangement. I will add, that Dr. Turner places oxygen at the 

 beginning, but chlorine, iodine and bromine, follow the combusti- 

 bles, and occupy the last place before the metals. 



In a word then, the only important peculiarities in my arrange- 

 ment are, that the alkalies and earths are introduced before the 

 metals ; and galvanism, although sketched in the beginning, * s jn " 



* Placed here because it may have a peculiar combustible base. 

 t This is explained in a general way in the first volume, that we may be a 

 speak of its compounds with the metals.
