Abstract
A NOTEWORTHY development in physical chemistry during the last twenty years is the increasing amount of attention paid to those properties of liquids which are primarily due to the cohesive forces between molecules. Compressibility, surface properties, and viscosity have attracted the interest of many investigators, both in Europe and in America, and the new knowledge gamed of the behaviour of liquids has found many important applications in industry. Prof. Kremann's book on the mechanical properties of liquids is therefore a welcome contribution to physico-chemical literature and provides a valuable work of reference for students and investigators in this field.
