Excerpt from Elements of Chemistry, Including the Recent Discoveries and Doctrines of the Science In labouring to correct the numerous typographical errors of the London work, the editors have been greatly assisted by the American reprints of the former edition of Turner's Elements, the great accuracy of which reflects so much credit on the industry and attainments of their accomplished editor. In spite of the care that has been used, many errors have no doubt escaped detection, some of which have been discovered in time to be included in the list of errata. For others which it is feared the reader will detect, the editors must claim his indulgence on the plea of the very short time allowed them for the performance of their task.
