Abstract
IT will be readily admitted that there is on the part especially of our younger chemists, a growing appreciation of the methods and results of physico-chemical investigation, and the issue of a series of text-books of physical chemistry under the able supervision of Sir William Ramsay will be a welcome stimulus to the prosecution of study and research on these lines. Dr. Findlay's book on the phase rule is the first of the series, and other volumes are promised, dealing respectively with stoichiometry, relation between chemical constitution and physical properties, electrochemistry, spectroscopy, thermodynamics, chemical dynamics and reactions. The advance being made in some of these departments is much more rapid than in others, and the plan of having a volume for each branch of the subject will make frequent revision possible where there is a call for it.
