About This Book

The oration begins with the speaker reflecting on taking up a public lecturing office, then offers a vivid tour of the chemical workshop, its furnaces, vessels, and laborious experimental work. It asserts that chemistry relies on hands-on experiment rather than rhetorical ornament and therefore deserves formal placement within academic instruction. The argument measures a discipline's nobility by its demonstrable utility to individuals and society, including contributions to health, and urges the academy to recognize experimental practice as a legitimate and necessary academic art.
