Project Gutenberg's Conversations on Chemistry, V. 1-2, by Jane Marcet This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org Title: Conversations on Chemistry, V. 1-2 In Which the Elements of that Science Are Familiarly Explained and Illustrated by Experiments Author: Jane Marcet Release Date: October 13, 2008 [EBook #26908] Language: English Character set encoding: ASCII *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK CONVERSATIONS ON CHEMISTRY, V. 1-2 *** Produced by Louise Hope [Transcriber's Note: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. This e-text comes in three different forms: unicode (UTF-8), Latin-1 and ascii-7. Use the one that works best on your text reader. --If "oe" displays as a single character, and apostrophes and quotation marks are "curly" or angled, you have the utf-8 version (best). If any part of this paragraph displays as garbage, try changing your text reader's "character set" or "file encoding". If that doesn't work, proceed to: --In the Latin-1 version, "oe" is two letters, but the word "aeriform" is usually written with dieresis (dots) over the "e", and "ae" is a single letter. Apostrophes and quotation marks will be straight ("typewriter" form). Again, if you see any garbage in this paragraph and can't get it to display properly, use: --The ASCII-7 or rock-bottom version. All necessary text will still be there; it just won't be as pretty. The full caption of each Plate is given after its first mention in the text--generally a few pages before the Plate's physical appearance, as specified in the caption. Many terms used in this book are different from today's standard terminology. Note in particular: oxy-muriatic acid = the element chlorine phosphat of lime = calcium diphosphate _or_ the element calcium glucium = the element beryllium muriatic acid = hydrochloric acid muriat of lime = calcium chloride oxymuriate of potash = potassium chlorate carbonic acid = carbon dioxide Further details and more examples are at the end of the e-text. Each Volume had its own table of contents. They have been merged for this e-text, but the Vol. II title page was retained. Some Conversations were renumbered between the 4th and 5th e
