Excerpt From The Study Of Chemical Composition An Account Of Its Method And Historical Development With Illustrative Quotations A Few Words Remain To Be Said Concerning The Scope Of The Subjects Included Under The Title The Study Of Chemical Composition. In My Omission Of A Chapter Dealing With The Determination Of Molecular Weight On The Basis Of The Laws Of Dilute Solutions, I Was Guided By The Following Considerations: The Kind Of Historical Treatment Adhered To Throughout The Book Seemed In This Case Unsuitable; Space Was An Object; And As A Matter Of Fact This Subject Is Adequately Dealt With In A Number Of Recent TextBooks On Physical Chemistry, Besides Which A Reprint Renders The Important Original Papers Easily Accessible. On The Other Hand, The Part Of Chapter Xv Which Deals With Crystallo Graphy Has Been Introduced Because The Average Student Of Chemistry Is As A Rule Ignorant Of This Subject, And Does Not Find In The Current TextBooks Even The Minimum Amount Of Information Required To Appreciate The Results Obtained In The Study Of The Relation Between Crystalline Form And Chemical Composition.
