Publication Date1817
LanguageEnglish
CARC94
 
Chemical Amusement, a Series of Curious and Instructive Experiments in Chemistry Which Are Easily Performed and Unattended by Danger by Fredrick Accum was published in 1817.

It is a descriptive catalog of chemical apparatus and instruments manufactured and sold by Fredrick Accum.[1]

Tom Ransom points out in Magicol No. 174 (February 2010) that the authors statements in the book that the experiments "..are easily performed, and unattended by danger is not all true!

Ransom also boasts a book by Accum preceding Toole Stott's first entry for this book by six years with a cover title "Chemical Amusement: Comprising a Series of Interesting and Striking Chemical Experiments".[2]
