520 _a"History of Chemistry, Volume 1 (of 2)" by T. E. Thorpe is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the development of chemistry from its ancient roots to the mid-19th century. The book explores the early practices and philosophies surrounding chemistry, delving into the contributions made by various cultures and notable figures throughout history. The opening of the book introduces the origins and evolution of chemical arts, with a particular focus on ancient Egyptian practices. It discusses the notion of chemistry as both an art and a science, emphasizing its empirical nature in ancient times before developing into a scientific discipline. Through references to various historical sources and figures, Thorpe sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of how ancient civilizations contributed to the field of chemistry, laying the groundwork for future advancements. The first chapter, titled "The Chemistry of the Ancients," establishes the themes of knowledge accumulation and the transition from practical arts to more theoretical frameworks that will be expanded upon in subsequent chapters.
