EDITED BY SIR WILLIAM RAMSAY, K.C.B., F.R.S. THE progress of Physical Chemistry is now so rapid, its domain is so extensive, and the number of journals devoted to its exposition is so great, that it has appeared desirable to issue a series of volumes, each of moderate compass, and each dealing with one branch of the subject. The rate of advance in various branches of the subject is not equal; while, for example, the basis of the science remains comparatively stationary (for methods of determining atomic and molecular weights, and the classification of compounds undergoes little modification), rapid progress is being made in other branches. Hence it has been thought proper to issue several short manuals, so that each individual one may be frequently brought up to date, independently of others. In this way, a statement of what is known on each subject will be made accessible to students and investigators. The subject has been divided as follows, among the authors mentioned : A : IS. net.1 AN INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY. by R. A. LEHFELDT, D.Sc., including a Chapter on THE 5S. PART II.-APPLICATIONS TO ELECTROLYSIS, PRIMARY AND SECONDARY BATTERIES, ETC. SPECTROSCOPY. E. C. C. BALY, F.I.C. THERMODYNAMICS. F. G. DONNAN, M.A., PH.D. CHEMICAL DYNAMICS, AND REACTIONS. J. W. MELLOR, D.Sc. STOICHIOMETRY. PROFESSOR SYDNEY YOUNG, D.Sc., F.R.S. THE RELATION BETWEEN CHEMICAL CONSTITUTION AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. SAMUEL SMILES, D.Sc. 1 This is the General Introduction to the series, and it also appears in Mr. Findlay's book on the Phase Rule. PART I GENERAL THEORY BY R. A. LEHFELDT, D.Sc. PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS AT THE EAST LONDON TECHNICAL COLLEGE INCLUDING A CHAPTER ON THE RELATION OF CHEMICAL BY T. S. MOORE, B.A., B.Sc. LECTURER IN THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM Kuzimmerschied.
