Sinossi

Excerpt from Lectures on Cellulose

As a general criticism, therefore, the subject of colloidal matter is presented to the student rather as the play of Hamlet with the part of the prince left out.

I take it, it is not the function of a lecturer to argue, and I must be allowed to commend the above statement as a subject for an examination essay or a students' debate.

We have now to turn our attention to the central subject of our exposition: cellulose as a chemical individual, that is, in relation to systematic chemistry; and as a necessary preface to the question of a Normal Cellulose.

The necessity of a definition will be at once evident from the fact that our chemical filter papers are usually supposed to represent a normal cellulose, and are, in fact, frequently taken as a starting point of scientific investigation of cellulose: whereas a very slight knowledge of the technology of paper making would suggest, a priori, the improbability of any of its products reaching this standard; and a chemical examination would soon dispose of any such claim.
