Abstract
IN August 1918, after sending to the late Lord Rayleigh some reprints and expressing to him my regrets that he had not continued his extensive pioneering work on surface tension, I received a reply from which the following is quoted:
(1) An Introduction to Surface Chemistry.
Dr. E. K. Rideal. Second edition, revised and enlarged. Pp. ix + 459. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1930.) 21s. net.
(2) The Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces.
Dr. N. K. Adam. Pp. x + 332. (Oxford: Clarendon Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1930.) 17s. 6d. net.
