Abstract
THE third edition of Vol. 2 of Lewis's “Physical Chemistry” appeared in 1920, and included 445 pages of text. The fourth edition has been increased to 481 pages, mainly by the inclusion of half a chapter on “The Activity Theory of Evolutions” and half a chapter on “The Milner-Debye Theory of Strong Electrolytes.” In accordance with the author's policy of quoting extensively from, original sources, the latter section is taken from a paper by A. A. Noyes which appeared in the Journal of the American Chemical Society in 1924.
