While he has adhered to a strict systematic arrangement, and, on the part of science, sacrificed nothing to popularity, he hopes that he has made the explanations so clear and full as to be intelligible to all. Nor has he spared any trouble or expense in illustrating the subject by numerous appropriate wood-cuts made expressly for this work, and many of them entirely original. For the use of the different instruments a series ofT ables has been added, including those of the Tensions of Vapor of Water, used with theB oiling-P oint Barometer and the different Hygrometers, which Tables have been calculated for this work from those of Regnault, and are here given, for the first time, complete in English measures andF ahrenheit degrees.

Martin Hans Boye was born on 6 December 1812, in Copenhagen, where his father, Mark Boyé, a chemist, superintended the Royal Porcelain Manufactory.
Martin received his educational and scientific training in Copenhagen, graduating from the University of Copenhagen in 1832 and from the Polytechnic School in 1835.
In 1844, he graduated as an M. D. from the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania and was also accorded the A. M. degree causa honoris in recognition of numerous literary contributions of great merit.
In 1836, Martin Boye arrived in New York, "his object in coming to America being the desire to obtain an open field for research along with his chosen line. " In 1837, he became a student and assistant of Robert Hare. The next year he was closely associated with Henry D. Rogers in the geological survey of the State of Pennsylvania--occupying himself chiefly with the chemical analysis of rocks and minerals, as well as in the study of certain interesting and new derivatives of platinum. Simultaneously, in the laboratory of Robert Hare, he discovered and studied ethyl perchlorate, an exceedingly unstable ether, and also methyl perchlorate, which was not so treacherous.
Boye carried out many scientific studies of merit in association with James Curtis Booth and was much occupied with the study of minerals and ores of Pennsylvania, in one of which iron pyrites from Gap Mine, Lancaster County he found four and one-half percent of nickel.
In 1845, he became a professor in the Central High School of Philadelphia, where he is said to have been an earnest, enthusiastic, and successful teacher. While thus engaged he wrote A Treatise on Pneumatics: being the Physics of Gases, including Vapors (1855) and Chemistry, or the Physics of Atoms (1857). Both books were vigorous presentations of their topics.
He was also associated with James Curtis Booth in the preparation of the first part of the Encyclopædia of Chemistry (1850). The article on "Analysis" by Boyé was extended into an independent volume of exceptional merit.
In 1845, he refined the oily product from cottonseed, getting a bland, colorless oil, adapted for cooking and salad dressing, as well as for the making of a soap surpassing even the best Castile.
