Each science has a natural course from which it never deviates; it begins by colt lecting and establishing facts, and when these lacts become undoubted, it compares them one with another and deduces from them principles of application. The sci ence of Chemistry has perhaps been (he meansof establishing more useful facts in ite arts than any other. There are indeed few great and cardinal truths in reference to the operations of nature, or the tnechan ic arts, that Chemistry has not considera bly contributed iu bringing to view. The ultimate success of improved husbandry and manufactories, depends very much upon a knowledge of the chemical laws which govern matter in its various relations. This otbviously suggests the importance of every farmer & mechanic understanding what clmnistry is, and some of tSe uses ot tle science to every individual. The rerm Chemistry is fro:m the Arabic word kimia, which signifies --le occult science." or ihe science whose operations may be demon strated to the eyes. Its aiums are aN abundant as in nmiathemaiics, and whoevet pursues the science attentively, will he likely to accumulate a grea:er fund 0i knowledge than from any other. Philosophy only teaches us in relation to masses ol tnatter and motion; but Chensistry bringi to light the clements of substances. Time was, whcn it was vaguely supposed thai the material universe was made up of foua bodies, fire, air, earth, and water; but to dcrn chemical science has discovered be tweett fifty and sixty clementary substan ces, over forty of which are metals, ant most of the rest important to life and in th< arts by which substtence is gained. T< convince every one of the uomentous im portance of the science, it may be well t< notice a little ofits history and a few of thi nunerous benefits it ias conferred upot society. Anterior to the sevenleeth cetntu ry, the science had made but little pro gross, but in the days Rogcr Bacon, Par acelsus. Agricola, &c. facts were brough into order, and sonmesystem was given 14 mankind. Glauber added some more fact: in reference to instruments, and discover ed thesalt which is named Glauber's salt Black, Ptiestly, and Cas endish, with thei mighty ititellecti'did much to-advance tn science. But Sir Humphery Davy, wh earth, dd more for ihe ecionce U Ch'a.ii try that any other iidi'viduaf of atny agt (His Agricultural Chemistry should be i hands ofeverv farmer.) There are man; gentlenten in both the old anld new worl at thi' time, who are devoting their live to chemical investigations, and will doua less discover many new and importan truths. It may lie the science is yet itt it infancy, andjtdging from tie slow pro gresi of the past ages,. it assuredlly is. W 811my ex pect that from Clmcnistry, greate lh-lgt wIll et Le iblrown otn all the darl paiiIts of human existence. Those ho iirst saw real use in th science, and were in ftact the first chemn ists of the world, were such as discovere the tmeans of melting, combtling. an tmoiuldinmg :he tmetals. Next to tlese %%er sucI phyvicians a first imade extracts fmr tie. Centuries have passed away sinc the-e fatcts were first di,covered, and ye new ones are made knon ni every year, am it is indeed a science --o rich in trtls, tha the half may never he discovered. Alchy mists were so enamored with its wonders that they dreamed if time philosopher stone, which it was suppoosed would turi every thing i it mited into purn gold. Not n ithitaniding their isionary notions. the: bequteamhed to thme world at rich legacy But we tmust ntice more closely som< of the parrictular instances itt which chmem istry as a science. hats been and wuill al ways be very uneful, We httve men tiotned that tnelrers, combiners, and motti diers of tmetals, dlerived thmeir art froti chemists. It tmay be said, that mant of our ore melters and irona woirker, ttever saw a hook ont chemistry;-thmis may le. lbut boiok< are ttot the only meants o learning iscience. Somew itndividumat ha: ascertained frotn experiment, secrets itn the mnodus onperandi uif mertal wtmrkirng, nmt cotmmnticated these scientifie truths to rhe laborer, so that all th at is done is byv science From the nmetrinrg of the ore, to thIe con version itnto theo most flinely polishied in stru mentts, every operation is dependet upon chemical affinities. Not only so, htt goodl or htad ores are knownt by chmetmical expertiments. The mixing thte ametals and. manufactttring utensils are doe biy the chemtist's lightt. 'IThe physician whIo at. rem pits to practice medicine withontt exten. stve chemical knowledge. either with mitn erals or vegetables,_is liable to fall into many fatal crroirs, anmd deprive, tbrough ignorance, many a human being of -exis. tence. lIe must be acquaitnted with the natuare of man's constituents, wshat poison it is, or tobstrtctiont, that derrnges the ma chinery, ands wvhat will nentralize or re move the catuse of diseasei. Hundreds of persons are devstroyed every year, int ctit sentence of t akinig something they shonuldi not. A sutbstance at one time may be a valuable metdicinte, but at another tmo ment it tmay caurtse instauntaneous death. Two innocent substan~ces may be put into the stomach otne after the othber, but from their affinities, a third substance may be formed of a most deleterious character. A knowledge ofechemistry alone can qual ifyv the practitioner to remedy the evils. Itis strange, yet true, if a child or one not thinking of danger, happen to :ake a little poison, physicians are seen administering one dose after another, to see what will destroy it. If they were acquainted with chemical affinity, this experimenting plan would not be adopted, but the Doctor knowing what the patient had taken, would promptly give the needed remedy. Mineral doctors and root doctors, not chemically acquainted with the nature of the substances they administer, and their affinities for others, should in our opinion be capitally punished. Ignorant doctors are the swit winged messengers of death, that are irresponsible to earth for their un pardonable deeds, but scientific physicians are blessings to any country. The manufacturers of ecollen and cotton goods are indebted to chemistry for a knowledge or the most difficult operations. In printing calicos. every process is chem ical, and not a color can be imparted but in consequence of the affinity which sub sists between the cloth and the dye, or the dye and the mordant which is employed as a bond:ofutiion between them. No one can appreciate the importance of a chem ical education, to one who is intended for this business as a profession. BleachinA I also, A hih is ititinmately connected with coloring, is dependent entirely upon chem ical edutcatiin, to one who is intended for this business as a profession. Bleaching also, which is intimately connected with coloring, is dependent entirely upon chem ical experiments. Manufacturers of Earthenware and Porcelain, owe their greatest success to chemistry. - Farmers, Brewers, and even Vinegar takers, do their work by acci dent, unless they are acquainted with chemistry. I Soap Making. is a business that every t one should understand, and yet no one can > be certuin of making a good "pot of soap" without a chemical lamp to hold over it. We have seen old ladies in their soap ma king, notwithstanding their many years i experience, have their pots neither to con tain alkali. oil or soap, but a kind of a sub stance that was a little alkaline, and a little soapy, and what to do they did not know. Cticmnistry alone could have whispered the 3 secret. To the Tallow Chandler, cbemis i try is indispensable. By it, he learns how - to harden his candles in summer, and what will tSbine with the tallow ta keep burnI r ing longest. 4efining sugar isa cbemical a. operation, and.the-paraty of the article D generally depends upont the eatent oftbis Ito like manner it might be shown that n bread making, starch and varnish making. y ate all dependent upon chemistry fr thew I improvement and successful practce. s Chemistry is of the utmost importance to - every one who wishes to be a scholar, in t leed there is no such a thing as a scientific t gentleman. % It.) is not a practical chem - ist. No subject is better calculated for t training and expanding the mind than this; r and for the accumulation of facts, none perhaps in all the range of sciences is Its equal. In our estimation, if all the time e nere ie voted to erperimental chemistry in our schools, that is given to the ancient clas sics, much utore teeful and practical in I formation would be acquied. Chemistry r is the ma,tt extensive science, and .it is not iproibable any one person can comprehend - it in its whole extent; it hastherefore been C divided intio dillereit branches. Though ti tmethod fr cutmining, analyzing, &c. . ii the snme it all, IPhilosophical Chemistry, treats of the afrinity vf aggregation, or solution. satura ion, erstalization, ebullition, fusion, and neutralization. It mensures the degrees Iof aflinity between diFerent substances, - mnd shows the efTects of light, heat, and V electricity. It explains the nature of ani. (; mtal antd vegetable compounds. Notwith statndiug. however, it~s sphere is large, its Sviews are general. - Meteorological Chemistry, shows the - ormnatitn tf cloiuds, mists, snow, hail, tbe -influence of the atmosphere in relation to -the hygrometer. barotmeter, attd thermom Sete'r. treat-s of meteoric stontes, and every tphentomenotn above the face ofthe earth. G;eological Chemistry, attempts to ex ptlain the cause of earthtquakes, volcanoes, rthe influenice of climate upon the color andl constit ution of aniatals, &c. llyggetic Chemistry. shows us how to Iconstruct ia holesome buiildings, to arrange them so as to have pure air to breathe, and to guaurn against cotagions. It also teach. es what is wholesome and unwholsome food, the influence otf occupation and fash itn otn health. But last of all, we come to tnotice. A gricultural Chemistry.-T he objeet of this dlepartmient of chemistry, is to give a knowvledge of the tnture of plants and soils; arid aliso the laws of production. Davy and Chaptal are the great lights here. They hanvo brought te suluject to some systemi but the same order is adopted by all who have writteni ou this branch of the setee. hrt. Agricultural chemistry treats of the general powers of matter which influene vegetation, of gravity. cohesion, chemical oliinity, heat. light, electricity, the ele. mients of matter, especially such as cota pose veget ables, and the laws of their ar rangemen t. 2d. Ii treats of the organizatiotn of plants, their substnnees and chemicalcompoition. 3d. It informs us in relation to th aum her of earths, their natures, and their coen position in order to he productive. It en ables us to analyze the soils, and instucets us in reference to .the quantity of each earthb essenialto the diferent crops. 4th. It teaches thre nature of mnannres, the time apd manner of apply, g them, and also the einantity reqult. to the
