Abstract
THIS work forms one of the series of monographs on physics edited by Sir J. J. Thomson, and it is perhaps natural that the author should have practically confined himself to discussing that class of colloidal solutions which has so far proved amenable to quantitative and mathematical investigation—the class known as suspensoids. The treatment of the emulsoids is very brief and inadequate, an omission all the more striking as the author several times insists on the importance of colloidal physics to the arts and to biology and physiology, the former of which are largely, and the latter exclusively, concerned with emulsoids.
