Abstract
THE new edition of this excellent book is entirely re-written, but it preserves all the valuable features of preceding issues. The first part is a compact treatise on modern theoretical electrochemistry which, on account of the concise style, covers all the important branches in a comprehensive and satisfactory way. The second and third parts deal with the applied electrochemistry of aqueous solutions, and with electric furnaces and their products, respectively, and here again the treatment is comprehensive and accurate. The amount of information contained in the book is surprising, and no important branches of the subject seem to have been missed. The literature references are very complete, and the illustrations are clear and well chosen. A particularly valuable feature is the large number of problems and exercises, for which not only answers but also concise; solutions are provided. This is a thoroughly satisfactory book, and the author deserves high praise for the skilful and expert way in which he has brought the material together and for the clear and accurate presentation of it.
