Graham, Thomas John
A Chemical Chatechism. For the author, 1829. 8vo, org. boards with paper label; pp. xi, [1 (Description of plate)], 616; 1 plate. Second edition (but possibly only).
According to Graham's preface this book was an improvement on Parkes' earlier Chemical Catechism, owing to flaws and errors in that work. It has not been possible to trace an earlier edition of Graham's work so it is possible the 'Second Edition' on the title-page refers to this intention of following and improving Parkes.
with Parkes, Samuel

Chemical Essays Principally Relating to the Arts and Manufactures of the British Dominions. Printed for the author, 1823. 8vo, org. boards with paper label; pp. xxxv, [1 (blank)], 648; 14 (of 15) plates (lacking Lord Bacon frontis.). Second edition, vol. 1 only.
Not Sold

 

. Graham, bar some foxing, spotting etc an unusually nice copy. Parkes with water-staining to lower margins but good.
