Abstract
DR. VAN KLOOSTER has brought together a number of experiments suitable for lecture demonstrations in physical chemistry. These experiments, to the number of 253, include, in addition to the more obvious experiments such as the determination of molecular weights, a series of thirty experiments on colloids and adsorption, some eighteen experiments on actino-chemistry, and conclude with a short series of experiments in which liquid air is used. When physical chemistry is taught to advanced students, lecture demonstrations are often regarded as superfluous; but with the growing importance of the subject the demand for suitable illustrations is likely to increase. The volume before us will, therefore, be welcomed by many teachers who will find it a considerable help in introducing experimental demonstrations into their lecture courses.
