Chemistry, Theoretical, Practical, and Analytical, as Applied and Relating to the Arts and Manufactures, Vol. 1 - 9a03764ef90a1d6b1ac84bb42fe226d4 (page 218)

The first of two encyclopedic volumes seeking to provide a comprehensive exposition of the state of chemical manufactures at the turn of the 19th century. Written by James Sheridan Muspratt (1821-1871), an Irish-born research chemist and son of James Muspratt (1793-1886), an infamous industrial chemical manufacturer in the UK between 1825 and 1850, Chemistry, Theoretical, Practical, and Analytical is regarded as Muspratt's magnum opus. Digitized content includes front matter and illustrations, including eighteen full-page engraved portraits of prominent chemists of the period.
