Abstract
THE study of “Surface Tension “has been modified profoundly by the conception of oriented molecules which was introduced by Langmuir in 1917, and has since been developed on a rigid quantitative basis by the researches of N. K. Adam. These new developments are described and discussed in the new edition of this work. The fact that the subject is treated from the physical rather than the chemical point of view increases the value of the book as a contribution to physical chemistry, since it leads to the introduction of information which is not usually available in books written by chemists.
