Abstract
THIS book aims at giving a concise account of the main principles of theoretical chemistry required for higher sckool certificate, intermediate science, pre-medical and first M.B. examinations, and providing a foundation for distinction and scholarship students. It actually contains rather less on many topics than is usually found in general text-books of this stage. More space is given to phase rule than is usual. A good feature of the book is the large number of questions and problems, which will provide useful exercises for students. Unfortunately, the book is marred by a number of minor errors; and in places insufficient detail is given to enable students to understand the principles of some experimental methods described. In a new edition the book should be carefully revised.
