The family is the heart of the countrys life, and every philanthropist or social scientist must begin at that point. Whatever, then, will enlighten the mind, and lighten the burden of care, of every housekeeper will be a boon. At the present time, when the electric light and the gas stove are familiar topics, there is, after all, no branch of science which might be of more benefit to the community, if it were properly understood, than Chemistry the Chemistry of Common Life. There is a space yet unoccupied for an elementary work which shall give to non-scientific readers some practical information as to the chemical composition of articles of daily use, and as to their action in the various operations in which they are employed. The public are the more ready for the application of this knowledge since Chemistry is taught in nearly all High Schools, and most persons have a dim idea of what some part of it means. To gather up these indistinct notions into a definite and practical form is the aim of this little book.
