Excerpt from The Principles of Theoretical Chemistry: With Special Reference to the Constitution of Chemical Compounds
The demand for a third edition of this work is all the more gratifying, because such a measure of favor was entirely unexpected. But a deeper cause for satisfaction is to be found in this evidence of the growing recognition of the importance of Theoretical Chemistry as an element of a thorough education, both in Chemistry and Medicine. I have taken advantage of the opportunity thus offered to make a number of radical changes and to add much new matter. The chapter on valence has been almost entirely re-written and, at the same time, enlarged, and I feel that the treatment of the subject is now much more satisfactory than in the earlier editions. A brief introductory chapter, and chapters on matters pertaining to the subject of chemical affinity, and the connection between constitution and chemical conduct have been added, and many other additions have been made throughout the book.
