"Tables in Illustration of the Theory of Definite Proportionals" by William Thomas Brande offers a detailed compilation of data essential for early 19th-century chemical study and manufacturing. This volume provides tables showcasing the prime equivalent numbers of elementary substances alongside the volumes and weights in which they combine. Specifically tailored for chemical students and manufacturers, this work serves as a valuable historical resource, reflecting the state of chemical knowledge and industrial practices of the era.
Brande's meticulous tables provide insight into the understanding and application of definite proportions, a cornerstone of early chemical theory. This book allows modern readers to explore the foundations upon which contemporary chemistry was built and gain an appreciation for the challenges and ingenuity of early chemical investigations.
