PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.
The object of this book is to present the elements of the entire subject of Physical Chemistry in one volume, together with the important and but little known applications of it to the other branches of chemistry. Mam-persons have found it difficult to obtain a comprehensive outline of the subject, owing to the length of time which it has been necessary to spend upon the separate volumes devoted to special portions of it. To all such this volume may be of value.
It is especially intended as a text-book for cither class-work or self-instruction, and although the calculus is used in the derivation of some of the laws, still much can be done without any training in the higher mathematics. In general, references are given, so that any one wishing to make an extended study of any special portion may do so with little difficulty. The amount of the subject included, however, embraces that which is likely to be useful to all chemists, and is that which
