The Elementary Principles of Scientific Agriculture
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was educated at the defunct Newark Academy in Delaware. He attended Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania from 1846 to 1849, where he was a member of the Belles Lettres Society. He graduated in 1849, planning to study the Law.
Career
He served as the President of the University of Alabama from 1871 to 1874. Additionally, he served as State Chemist of Alabama. He was raised as a Methodist, and would remain a devout Methodist all his life.
He started his career teaching Chemistry at Aberdeen Female College, a Methodist women"s school in Aberdeen, Mississippi.
In 1852, he moved to St. Petersburg, Virginia, where he taught chemistry in another Methodist school. From 1854 to 1856, he served as President of St. Petersburg College, even though he was only twenty-four years old.
In 1856, he became a Professor of Chemistry at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. He went traveling in Europe and took lessons from renowned German chemist Robert Bunsen (1811–1899) at the Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, Germany.
Back in the United States, he taught chemistry at Southern University in Greensboro, Alabama (now known as Birmingham–Southern College and located in Birmingham, Alabama).
During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, he ran the Confederate Nitre and Mining Bureau in Selma, Alabama, which supplied powder and artillery ordnance to the Confederate States Army. Politically, he was a Democrat. In 1869, he was hired by the Smithsonian Institution to explore the Moundville Archaeological Site in Moundville, Alabama.
He returned to academia to serve as the sixth President of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama from 1871 to 1874.
He helped in its reconstruction, as the university had been heavily damaged by Northern troops, but struggled to find sufficient funding. In 1874, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he worked as a Professor of Chemistry at Vanderbilt University and later as Head of Pharmacy until 1885.
During that time, he also took trips to Europe to stock the chemistry laboratories at Vanderbilt. Finally, he moved to the new Alabama Polytechnic Institute (now known as Auburn University) in Auburn, Alabama, where he taught chemistry and started the Nathaniel T.
