COMMENTS. 



" The book is brought thoroughly up to date, and in 

 some cases the lines of probable development are nicely 

 foreshadowed. The descriptions are particularly lucid 

 and the illustrations well selected. 



" The general arrangement and make-up of the book 

 is excellent, and . . . altogether the book fills well a 

 need long felt by teachers of Industrial Chemistry. 



" I shall adopt the book for my class and shall take 

 pleasure in recommending it." 



Jas. Lewis Howe, 



Department of Chemistry, Washington and Lee University. 



" I have examined it carefully, and think it a most 

 excellent book, meeting a want I have long felt in my 

 higher classes. I have introduced it in this year's

An Introduction to Physical Chemistry. 



By JAMES WALKER, D.Sc, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry, University College, Dundee. 

 Cloth. 8vo. Price $2.50 net. 



The main object of this work is to be explanatory, to remedy the almost universal inability on the part of 

 the student to effect a connection between his ordinary chemical knowledge and the new material before him 

 owing to his keeping his general chemistry and his physical chemistry strictly apart, so that the latter fails to be 

 the assistance it should in practical work. 



The book assumes that the student has already taken ordinary elementary courses in chemistry, physics, 

 and mathematics, but the only portion of the book which requires a rudimentary knowledge of the calculus is the 

 last chapter which contains the thermodynamical proofs of greatest value to the chemist.
