Abstract
IN the matter of text-books, physical chemistry seems to be coming into its own. It is a healthy sign. Not, indeed, that mere numbers of text-books are any trustworthy measure of the growth and vigour of a science, nor is the unrestricted compilation of them to be encouraged, obut physical chemistry is a relatively youthful science, and there is still ample room for individual exposition of the subject.
