One should mention the fact that this Dover edition is a reprint of the Macmillan edition of 1937. Chemistry has much evolved since then.

I find this a very interesting book for those who have any interest in the history of Chemistry. The same author also have a serie of books about the same subject- named The History of Chemistry - but this is to big and to extensive for one that just whants to learn something about the history of chemistry. This is a smalest and simplest book to the ones that are now starting to study the history of chemistry. The book covers the history of chemistry since the early chemistry and alchemy and allows you to learn lots of interesting things about the begginings of chemistry.
