Chemicals "Copulate"

From this time everything was copulated. Acetic, formic, butyric, margaric, &c., acids, alkaloids, ethers, amides, anilides, all became copulated bodies. So that to make acetanilide, for example, they no longer employed acetic acid and aniline, but they re-copulated a copulated oxalic acid with a copulated ammonia. I am inventing nothing�altering nothing. Is it my fault if, when writing history, I appear to be composing a romance?

Notes:

Making it sound natural, so the chemist describes his work as composing a romance for the elements' natural affinity for one another.
