Advantages of Chemistry

Jacob Greene gave a speech titled “Advantages of Chemistry: or, an Introductory Address” in the Chemical Theatre of Jefferson Medical College during the first lecture in 1834-5. I don’t know enough about the book to give a detailed synopsis, but it seems to concentrate on the advantages and importance of chemistry in the context of medical education. This book may offer insightful information if you’re interested in historical viewpoints on chemistry and its uses.
