Riassunto

Excerpt from Smithsonian Report on Recent Improvements in the Chemical Arts

The arts are those processes by which the products of the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms are modified, in a greater or less degree, in order to adapt them to the wants of man. These processes are based on either mechanical or chemical principles; and while in a large proportion of them mechanics are almost exclusively employed, in an equally large number mechanical operations are merely subservient to chemi cal action. Hence, a twofold division of the arts is both practicable and convenient. The former is designated as Mechanical Technology, or Practical Mechanics; the latter, Chemical Technology.
