“You have heard of the new chemical nomenclature endeavored to be introduced by Lavoisier, Fourcroy, &c. Other chemists of this country, of equal note, reject it, and prove in my opinion that it is premature, insufficient and false.

There are some good publications in it, which must be translated into the ordinary chemical language before they will be useful.”
