To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It contains an address to parents in which chemistry is por- trayed as never occurs in these modern days. For example: "As some persons may not be apprised of the value of chymical knowledge, it may be necessary to enumerate a few of the advantages which arise from its acquisition; for, in order to induce that general attention to the science which it deserves, its utility must be demon- strated: "It would be no difficult matter to show that the world might derive great advantages even from t...he diffusion of a theoretical knowl- edge of philosophy and chymistry. An instance or two will place this assertion in a clear point of view. Two thousand years ago, Archimedes was ridiculed for his attention to mathematics and the abstruse sciences; yet, owing to this knowledge, he was enabled to invent such mechanical engines as were sufficient to resist the whole Roman army. And such a dread had the soldiers of this man's knowledge, that if a rope only were hung down the walls of the city of Syracuse, the whole army would retire from before it in the utmost consternation.
