Author Description

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Physics and Chemistry of Colloids The present work is a slightly enlarged reprint of a series of articles published in The Chemical World, which in their turn were based on a course of ten lectures delivered at the Sir John Cass Technical Institute to students of very varied attainments and interested in every branch of chemistry and of chemical industry. The book accordingly does not aim at a completeness precluded alike by its compass and the extremely vigorous growth of the subject, but is only intended to introduce readers with a reasonable knowledge of physics and chemistry to the fundamental facts and methods of a branch of physical chemistry on the importance of which it is hardly necessary to insist.
