Abstract
THE third edition of Eucken's “Grundriss der physikalischen Chemie” was merged in a “Lehr-buch” of 1,000 pages, issued in 1930 (NATURE, Dec. 27, 1930, p. 988); but even then the project existed of splitting the product into two parts, the more general and elementary part being issued as a fourth edition of the “Grundriss” and the more special and advanced part as a second edition of the “Lehrbuch”. The first portion of this project has now been carried out, and has yielded a volume of 700 pages with 179 instead of 250 figures. The tables and figures have been taken for the most part from the “Lehrbuch”, but the text has been condensed by omitting much descriptive matter (for example, Aston's mass-spectrograph) and concentrating on fundamental laws. Numerical exercises have also been added at the ends of certain chapters.
