Abstract
AFTER a useful life of eleven years, this well-known text-book appears in a thoroughly revised edition, in which, no doubt, it will continue to be a standard work. At first sight it appears as if the size of the work had remained sensibly constant-to use a favourite term of physical chemistry-actually there has been an increase of 27 per cent., and the additional chapters on alloys, hydrates, colloidal solutions, dimensions of atoms and molecules, neutrality and salt hydrolysis, electromotive force, polarisation and electrolysis, and radio-active transformations have added much to its value. Of these the chapter on alloys may be mentioned as a particularly successful piece of exposition.
