Chemistry:Encyclopedia of Chemistry
The Encyclipedia of Chemistry, full title The Encyclopedia of Chemistry, Practical and Theoretical: Embracing Its Application to the Arts, Metallurgy, Mineralogy, Geology, Medicine, and Pharmacy, was written by James Curtis Booth assisted by Campbell Morfit, and published in Philadelphia in 1850.[1] Numerous editions were published.[2] The eight volume book is 973 pages.[3] Robert Cornelius produced daguerreotypes of Martin Hans Boyè to illustrate the book.[4] It was published by H. C. Baird.[5]
Booth travelled to Germany and studied production processes for papermaking and dyeing. He wrote various articles and was involved in various editing and writing projects.[6] Booth also wrote Memoirs of the Geological Survey of the State of Delaware published in 1841 in Newark, Delaware.[7]
Booth went on to become a melter and refiner for the United States Mint. Morfit authored the book Chemical Manipulations.[8]
