Abstract
THE appearance of a fifth edition of this well-known book affords gratifying evidence of the widespread recognition that the study of analytical processes from the theoretical point of view is a necessary adjunct to the practical work of the laboratory. At the same time, the continued demand for a book of this character is a striking testimony to the general utility of the ionic hypothesis in the consideration of the problems of analytical chemistry. In spite of the many attacks, persistent and vigorous, which have been made upon the theory of Arrhenius, it has to be admitted that its position as a working hypothesis is stronger to-day than it was at the time of issue of the first edition of this volume.
