Abstract
THE appearance of a third edition of Prof. Britton's well-known text-book on “Hydrogen Ions” will be welcomed by those physical chemists who are concerned with the control of analytical and industrial processes by means of pH measurements. The ten years which have elapsed since the publication of the second edition have seen a large increase in the original literature of the subject and this has necessitated a considerable increase (some 274 pages) in the size of the book and its division into two volumes. The book is well printed on good paper and shows few signs of war-time austerity, with the exception of the price, which has increased nearly 200 percent: perhaps this is only the shape of things to come.
