Excerpt from The Boy's Playbook of Science: Including the Various Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus Required, for the Successful Performance of Scientific Experiments, in Illustration
For a long time past there has been a continuous call for further copies of The "Boys Playbook of Science," but as the previous editions were hopelessly out of date, the publishers, Messrs. George Routledge and Sons, Ld., entrusted me with the work of revision and re-illustration, in order that the increasing demand for the volume might be supplied by an entirely new edition which should be thoroughly up to date in its matter and illustration.
Since the preceding editions were placed before the public, extraordinary advances have been made in all branches of science, especially in those of chemistry, electricity, the application of steam and of water, etc., whilst the interim has also seen the discovery of many new elements, the breaking up of hitherto-considered elements into compounds, the inauguration of new sciences, such as wireless telegraphy and telephony, and new branches of physics, as radio-activity, the "X" rays, "N" rays, etc., as well as great alterations in nomenclature; also several of the then accepted laws which governed certain chemical and physical changes - in the light of modern science, with fuller knowledge and more perfect instruments - have undergone complete revolution. So that in order to bring the work into conformity with modern views of science, it has been necessary to reconstruct, re-illustrate, and re-write the greater part of the book and to add a considerable portion of new matter, which not only extends the volume, but will, it is to be hoped, add to its general interest.
Whilst dealing with almost all important branches and departments of science, I have had before me the desire that it should be a "boy's" book, and have therefore followed on the lines of its predecessors. Though some of the experiments cannot well be performed outside a laboratory, the majority are within the compass of execution in an ordinary house-kitchen, with the assistance of the glass and crockery generally found there.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a fascinating journey through the world of science, exploring its fundamental principles and demonstrating key concepts through engaging experiments. The author delves into the nature of matter, explaining its essential properties like impenetrability, inertia, and gravitation, and offering practical examples to illustrate these concepts. Drawing on the rich history of scientific inquiry, the author provides insights into the evolution of astronomy, tracing its development from ancient observations of the stars to the emergence of a more sophisticated scientific understanding. The book explores the significance of celestial bodies, particularly the sun and its role in the solar system, and delves into the concept of gravity as a universal force that shapes the cosmos. With an emphasis on hands -on learning, the author provides a wealth of experiments that can be performed at home using readily available materials, making scientific exploration accessible and enjoyable for all ages. The book ultimately underscores the importance of scientific observation, experimentation, and understanding as the foundation for unraveling the mysteries of the universe.
