The First Volume is to a large extent historical and introductory. It includes a general survey of chemical research and 

 discovery from the earliest times down to the present day; and rnany of the leading principles required for reference in sub- 

 sequent volumes. In this volume the atom is treated as the chemist's unit. It also deals in full detail with Hydrogen and Ox-
