Excerpt from Theoretical Chemistry From the Standpoint of Avogadro's Rule Thermodynamics The first edition of the German text was translated by Prof. C. S. Palmer of Colorado, soon after its publication, and long remained the only English version of Nernst's valuable treatise. Meanwhile, the original has passed through three further editions, has grown some two hundred pages in bulk, and has gained in usefulness by repeated careful revision. Under these circumstances the English publishers, in 1903, asked me to re-edit their translation. In doing this, I have translated all the new matter contained in the fourth German edition, and revised certain parts of the old, in the endeavour to free the book from any mistakes and ambiguities that a first edition is so liable to contain. The bulk of the old text, however, remains as it was. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
