Abstract
COLLOID science nowadays covers a multitude of the branches of physical chemistry and even of technology. The diversity of subjects treated in the present volume is as wide as the all-embracing title might lead one to suppose. The editorial viewpoint is that the series shall present recent work-in this subject by authors who have made significant contributions. If we may judge from the variety of topics dealt with in the first volume there will be no lack of subject matter for some time to come. One consequence of the editorial policy will be that the articles will often contain the individual opinions of the authors and that they will be more in the nature of progress reports than chapters in a text-book. But this fortunately leads to a more stimulating treatment, provided the reader has already some knowledge of the subject under review.
