Excerpt from Solutions
The advances made in the study of the difficult subject of Solutions in the last three or four years have been both rapid and astonishing. A new theory has been started, and has grown to maturity in a very short time. This theory professes to account not only for the main facts concerning solutions, but also for a host of other facts besides.
The facts amassed about solutions are now so many, and the theory is now so fully developed, that a systematic arrangement of these facts, and an authoritative statement of the theory, are sure to be welcomed by all chemists. Such a setting forth of facts and theory is to be found only in one book, and that is Professor Ostwald"s Lehrbuch der Allgemeinen Chemie, the second edition of which appeared in the end of last year. This book is certainly the textbook of general chemistry.
It was with the greatest pleasure that I agreed to prepare a translation of those chapters of the Lehrbuch which deal with the subject of solutions. Professor Ostwald has kindly allowed use to be made of chapters and portions of chapters in other parts of the Lehrbuch, so as to insure that the whole subject shall be set fairly before the English reader; for the same purpose he has also modified and added to the text here and there.
