Analytical chemistry can be viewed from two perspectives the insider sees the subject as a science in its own right, where applied physics, math, and chemistry join hands to make measurements happen in a reliable and representative way the outsider might see the service maid that without further effort yields accurate results that will bring glory to some higher project. 

No, I am no maid, I said, and began very slowly to unlace his cote. And I am not frightened, except that... that I am bedded by a king. ...

The structure of scientific explanation in chemistry often has been deemed child s play, or kitchen work. Chemistry frequently is characterized as a handmaiden, "like the maid occupied with daily civilization she is busy with fertilizers, medicines, glass, [and] insecticides. .. for which she dispenses the recipes."3 The Toulouse physicist Henri Bouasse enraged his colleague Paul Sabatier, who was awarded a Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1912, by jibing that chemists only aim to "faire la cuisine."4...
