Abstract
FINDLAY'S “Phase Rule” is too well known to call for a lengthy review on the appearance of a new edition. It is now five years since the format was changed in a new post-War edition of the book, and the subject is too well established to require a similar drastic revision at the present stage. The present edition is, however, 28 pages longer than its predecessor, and includes a new chapter on the practical application of equilibrium diagrams, in addition to the modifications and additions that have been made elsewhere. The revision has therefore been sufficiently thorough to ensure that the book shall be kept up-to-date, and the purchaser of the sixth edition need have no fear that he is securing a mere reprint of a former issue.
