Chapter 1
...it may be imagined that while during every
single hour of my infant life I received a lesson of
patience, of charity, and of self-control, I was so
guided by a silken card that all secured but one
train of enjoyment to me.
Chapter 2 Natural philosophy is the genius that has regulated my fate; I desire, therefore, in this narration, to state those facts which
led to my predilection for that science.
Chapter 3 
A man would make but a very sorry chemist if he
attended to that department of human knowledge alone.
Chapter 4If the study to which you apply yourself has a
tendency to weaken your affections and to
destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in
which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study
is certainly unlawful, that is to say, and befitting
the human mind.
