Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyclopaedic Science Simplified In the Author's earlier works, written only for the youthful student DEGREES in Science, a promise was made that other books, to be regarded as a series of steps in Science, should be forthcoming. It is with this view that the present volume is offered; and as the general reader - in fact, "the Public" - has not the time or the inclination to study the very minute and laborious works of Gmelin, Watt, Miller, and other learned authors, it is hoped that the facts contained in this more advanced but still elementary work will be found sufficiently attractive to stimulate, at all events, the would-be philosopher to further reading, and especially to perform correct scientific experiments. Brevity and simplicity have been carefully attended to in the following pages; and when other authors are quoted, the writer has preferred giving their exact language, instead of altering and paraphrasing words, which frequently detracts from the sense of the passage.
