Abstract
THAT much may be gained by a judicious use of the methods of the physicist in elucidating chemical phenomena most chemists will admit; and, considering the rapid strides made of late years in physical chemistry, it seems surprising that so little has been done to give a connected account, suited to the wants of the student, of the main researches in this important field of investigation. Original communications on physical chemistry are on the increase. The chemist has now, in the Zeitsckrzft für physikalische Chemie, a periodical devoted exclusively to this branch of his science, and during the four years or so of the existence of this journal, its success has testified amply to the want which it supplies.
Outlines of General Chemistry.
