Abstract
PROFS. NOYES and SHERRILL have produced a work which might be mistaken at first sight for yet another text-book of physical chemistry, since it deals with such subjects as vapour-pressures, osmotic pressures, electrolysis, chemical equilibrium, chemical change, and the phase rule. A closer study of the book reveals the fact that it is quite distinct, both in its purpose and in its method, from the ordinary text-books of descrip tive physical chemistry. This contrast is shown not only by what the book contains but also by what it omits. Thus, the newer theories of the structure of atoms, molecules, and crystals have been reluctantly omitted, in spite of their interest and importance, since on the chemical side they are mainly empirical, the general principles (if any) on which they are based being mathematical and physical rather than chemical.
