About this book
Experiments with chemical and scientific apparatus fill John Henry Pepper's guide for young readers, which has 470 engravings and a new edition dated 1869. Pepper, a former professor of chemistry at the Royal Polytechnic, drew on the lectures he gave there. Twenty-nine chapters start with the properties of matter, centrifugal force and astronomy, then go through chemistry, electricity, magnetism, the telegraph, light, heat and the steam-engine. He dedicated it to the children of Lyon Playfair, whom he knew from his years directing the Polytechnic.
