Abstract
PROF. FINDLAY'S book includes all that A a student beginning the systematic study of physical chemistry requires, and is of such a standard that it can serve as an introduction to the more advanced parts of the subject, the references to the literature which are given also being very useful in the latter respect. The historical method is generally followed, yet in all parts the treatment is thoroughly modern, the recent developments of the subject being ade quately dealt with. The mathematics required goes no further than the elements of the calculus, without which no progress can be made in the study of physical chemistry.
