With their application to the expansion, liquefaction and vaporization of
solids ; the steam-engine, photography, spectrum analysis, the galvanic battery,
electro-plating, the electrical illumination of light-houses, the fire-alarm of
cities, the atlantic telegraph. An introduction to "Chemical Physics" Designed
for the use of academies, colleges, and medical schools. Illustrated with
numerous engravings, and containing copious lists of experiments, with
directions for preparing them. By THOMAS RUGGLES PYNCHON, Hartford :
A.S. Hale & Co. For sale by Van Nostrand.
The recent progress in physical science has created a demand among instructors
for more extended treatises upon the above subjects than they have heretofore
been able to obtain. The work of Prof. Pynchon seems well adapted to meet such a
demand. It is well arranged and copiously illustrated.
