    Xll POSTSCRIPT TO SECOND EDITION. Although the philosophy, and not the arts of chemistry, is the principal object kept in view throughout, some of the recent wonderful and interesting applications of the science have been described; and the principles of Pho- tography; of Volta-typing; of Electro-Magnetic Engines; and particularly of the Electro-Magnetic Telegraph; have been explained and illustrated. But I must take this opportunity of repeating, that this work is not meant to furnish details of manipulation, or particulars of construction which are to be found in the many excellent works upon chemistry which now abound, and still less to compete with the systems and manuals which have been happily published by so many of our first masters of the science; but it is designed rather as a preparation for the useful study of those more comprehensive works. It is, in short, only as its title indicates, An Introduction to the Study of Chemical Philosophy, and a Preparatory View of the Fm'ces which concur to the Production of Chemical Phenomena, and as such it is hoped that it may be received and judged. To the number of those who have aided me in this labour, I must not omit to add my friend Dr. W. A. Miller, to whose valuable assistance I have been greatly indebted in this new edition. .T. F. D. King's College, London, January, 1843.
