Excerpt from Boy's Playbook of Science: Including the Various Manipulations and Arrangements of Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus Required for the Successful Performance of Scientific Experiments; In Illustration of the Elementary Branches of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy Although The South Kensington Museum now takes the lead, and surpasses all former scientific institutions by its vastly superior collee tion of models and works of art, there will be doubtless many thousand young people who may remember (it is hoped) with some pleasure the numerous popular lectures, illustrated with an abundance of interesting and brilliant experiments, which have been delivered within the walls of the Royal Polytechnic Institution during the last twenty years. On many occasions the author has received from his young friends letters, containing all sorts of inquiries respecting the mode of performing experiments, and it has frequently occurred that even some years after a lecture had been discontinued, the youth, now become the young man, and anxious to impart knowledge to some home circle or country scientific institution, would write a special letter referring to a particular experiment, and wish to know how it was performed.
