Solubility of Non-Electrolytes

Abstract

IT is not often that a reviewer, who has read through the first edition of a book, finds it worth while to do more than glance through a second edition, in order to discover and review the new sections that have been introduced. Prof. Hildebrand's book is an exception, since the reviewer has taken the opportunity to renew his acquaintance with the earlier as well as the later text, and has found this to be a most interesting experience, since the book is full of matter which is not dealt with adequately (and indeed appears to have been largely overlooked) in the ordinary text-books of physical chemistry.
