Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Chemistry, on the Basis of Dr. Turner's Elements of Chemistry: Containing, in a Condensed Form, All the Most Important Facts and Principles of the Science
We understand by the action of the ultimate atoms of mat ter, the effect of a cause which is unknown to us, but which tends to unite the particles of one body to those of another, or to separate these particles in order to combine them with those of other bodies either in another order or in other pro portions.
This force, the cause of which is entirely unknown, but whose effects are so sensible, forms the foundation of the science of chemistry, and has been called molecular attraction.
