A dictionary of chemistry : on the basis of Mr. Nicholson's, in which the principles of the science are investigated anew, and its applications to the phenomena of nature, medicine, mineralogy, agriculture, and manufactures, detailed : with an introductory dissertation, containing instructions for converting the alphabetical arrangement into a systematic order of study
A 1821 Philadelphia chemistry dictionary by Andrew Ure, reworking William Nicholson's earlier work, aimed at students and practitioners of chemistry, mineralogy, and manufactures. Its single diagram is a line-engraved optical apparatus with lettered and numbered parts, showing beams of light passing through a prism-like arrangement between two vertical frames, a precise technical drawing a designer could adapt for scientific or instructional graphics.
