Abstract
ALTHOUGH the foundation on which electro-chemistry is built was to a large extent laid by the genius and splendid research work of two English men, Davy and Faraday, and is practically based on the laws enunciated by the latter, yet to-day, when many branches of industrial chemistry are being revolutionised by the introduction of this branch of chemical science, we as a nation know practically nothing about it. In America we are confronted by numerous works upon the subject; if we turn to Germany, there again we find a whole library of books devoted entirely to electro-chemical science and to its industrial application. Turning to our own country, what do we see? One or two books on electro-plating, books on electrical engineering, and a few translations of German works on electro-chemical analysis.
