This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ...atmosphere. Dumas took this advice in 1823 and so began his career in the metropolis at the same time as Liebig and under very similar auspices.
