VI. CHEMISTRY.
Professor Emmet.—In the Chemical class of this School, all the important
applications of the science to the mechanic arts, agriculture and domestic
economy are noticed, and when practicable, illustrated by experiment. In the
lectures on earths and metals, the appropriate minerals are exhibited and noticed
with reference to sciences of Mineralogy and Geology. At the close of the
history of inorganic matter, the atomatic theory, and the laws of definite proportions
are fully explained and exemplified. The latter part of the course is
occupied with the chemistry of organic substances; and it comprises the history,
analysis and properties of each substance; to which are added general
views of the connexion between Chemistry and the physiology of animals and
vegetables.
There is attached to this school, a very extensive apparatus and laboratory.
