| Publisher Description: I carne upon this collection o lec tures in chemistry by Henric Theophil Scheffer delivered in about 1750, edited by Torbern Bergman and published in Swed ish in 1775, when I was spending a sab batical leave in Uppsala. Sweden. in 1977, gathering material for my biography o Bergman (Coronado Press, 1985). I have written a chapter about "Sche er's Lec tures" in my Bergman biography. I refer the reader to this biography for further discussion. Bergman says in his "Foreword" to "Sche er"s Lectures" that he designed this collection o use by "those like me who teach chemistry." So this is one o the first, i not the first, textbooks de signed to be used in classes in chemistry. That phrase. "one o the first. i not the irst." is so typical o Bergman's work in many fields. Bergman is considered to be the father o quantitative chemical analysis, physical chemistry, modern chem ical nomenclature, the concept o equival ent weights. and the electromotive series." |
