Abstract
(1) A SPECIAL feature which is claimed for this book is the considerable care which has been taken to separate what the author considers to be necessary for School Certificate examinations and for examinations intermediate between this and Higher School Certificate, the latter material being given, along with historical notes, at the ends of the chapters. This separation does not seem altogether justified. The additional material on Avogadro's hypothesis (which is called Avogadro's law), for example (Chapter ix), would usually be found helpful by elementary students. The course provided, apart from the additions, gives the impression of a minimum one. Practical work and questions from various examinations are given; in the questions the London General School Certificate examination is very sparsely represented.
