Abstract
PROF. HINSHELWOOD'S first book on chemical change appeared in 1926 and later ran into three editions. There is little doubt that a fourth edition would have been welcomed as eagerly as its predecessors were; but the author has adopted the heroic course of writing a new book instead of expanding the old. It would be an under-statement to state that the result is satisfactory—that was to be anticipated; the treatment of the subject in the present volume is by far the most satisfactory and interesting that has yet been written.
