Abstract
WHILST the group method of writing has in the past been confined almost exclusively to treatises in various branches of medicine and surgery. Prof. Taylor is to be congratulated on a most successful application of the method to physical chemistry. This subject, which unfortunately for Great Britain did not develop with such rapidity as its sister subjects pure chemistry and physics, is now entering a period of a new revival which renders the appearance of this work most opportune. It is interesting to note not only a number of British nationality among the seventeen contributors to the various chapters, but also that uniform English spelling is adopted.
