Excerpt from A Manual of Chemistry: Containing the Principal Facts of the Science, Arranged in the Order in Which They Are Discussed and Illustrated in the Lectures at the Royal Institution of Great Britain The sixth chapter embraces such details respecting the Amy and Analysis of Metalliferous Compounds. As are necessarily omitted under the individual history of the metals: in this division of the book 1 have avail ed myself largely of the invaluable analytical labours of Klaproth, and have selected from other sources such instances as l conceived best adapted to assist the stu dent in acquiring correct notions of this department of chemical study; the processes detailed have, with few exceptions, been submitted to the testof experimental repetition in the laboratory of the Royal Institution, and those which have not been thus verified, are drawn from sources of the highest authority.

Student of CHEMISTRY has already a large selection of books for his guidance. In the FIRST STEP of Mr. Galloway, of about ninety pages, and in the translated HANDBOOK of Gmelin, as yet incomplete, but filling, at the present date, fourteen octavo volumes, and covering nearly eight thousand pages we have the two extremes of English Chemical literature. There are numerous books on theS cience, which occupy an intermediate position, some, under the title of Elements, treating the subject so profoundly as to alarm a beginner; while others are so filled with symbols, formulae, and mystical language, as to conceal the great facts of Chemistry in a haze of technicality. We see no reason for adopting an esoteric method of dealing with thisS cience. On the contrary, it appears to us, that without departing from the true objects of Chemistry, its facts admit of explanation, in a form to be intelligible to any educated man. It is not necessary to the progress of thisS cience, that its language should change with the opinions of every new theorist. The numerical value of atoms and volumes is not of so much importance to a student, as a correct description of the properties and uses of the substances which they represent. On this part of the subject, much labor appears to us to have been wasted by certain writers. They have apparently been engaged in working out an idea, and seeking for some Utopian standard of perfection, in a new system of notation :but in endeavoring to settle contested points on a firmer basis, they have incurred the risk of unsettling everything. Thus, instead of pursuing the inductive method, and fitting hypotheses to facts, they have introduced a deductive system, by which facts are made to bend to hypotheses ;and the elementary composition of bodies is altered, in order that they may correspond to certain artificial types.

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.

Brande was born in Arlington Street, London, England, the youngest son of six children to Augustus Everard Brande an apothecary, originally from Hanover in Germany.
He was educated first in Kensington and then in Westminster. After leaving Westminster School, he was apprenticed, in 1802, to his brother, an apothecary, with the view of adopting the profession of medicine. He studied medicine at Great Windmill Street Medical School and at Street George"s Hospital, before being drawn to chemistry following a meeting with Humphry Davy.
He then began to lecture in chemistry, based on a sound knowledge of which he acquired in his spare time. In 1812 he was appointed professor of chemistry to the Apothecaries" Society, and delivered a course of lectures before the Board of Agriculture in place of Sir Humphry Davy, whom in the following year he succeeded in the chair of chemistry at the Royal Institution, London. In 1821 he was the first to isolate the element lithium, which he did by electroysis of Lithium oxide.
From about 1823 onwards, Brande worked increasingly with the Royal Mint, eventually becoming Superintendent of the Coining and Die Department.
Brande"s Manual of Chemistry, first published in 1819, enjoyed wide popularity, and among other works he brought out a Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art in 1842. He was working on a new edition when he died at Tunbridge Wells.
He contributed articles to Rees"s Cyclopædia on Chemistry, but the topics are not known. Brande died in Tunbridge Wells in 1866, and is buried in West Norwood Cemetery, London (grave 1177, square 98).
