Excerpt from Elementary Chemistry Preliminary Statement. If we observe nature closely, we shall soon see that two quite different classes of changes are constantly taking place.

Secondly, there are the changes which substances undergo in their innermost structure: like the transformation of wood into charcoal, of the constituents of soil and air into the stems and leaves of plants, and a multitude of other simi lar alterations of different degrees of complexity.
