Abstract
THE author's introductory text fulfils its claim to be a “short, clear, yet moderately comprehensive statement of the fundamentals of colloid chemistry”. In fairly brief compass he has discussed the preparation and fundamental properties of various colloid systems, coagulation, froths and films, emulsions, gels and jellies, soaps, proteins, soils and clays, adsorption and catalysis. The value of the work is enhanced by a series of well-selected references.
