Excerpt from The Properties of Electrically Conducting Systems: Including Electrolytes and Metals

Naturally, the major portion of this volume is devoted to a con sideration of the properties of electrolytic solutions. The attempt has been made to present the subject broadly in order to bring out those elements of the phenomena which are common to solutions in all solvents. Solutions in non-aqueous solvents are treated somewhat more extensively than aqueous solutions, since the data relating to these solutions have not been collected heretofore.

The subject is presented from an empirical standpoint, since an ade quate theory of electrolytic solutions does not exist. Such theories as have been advanced in recent years give evidence of having been adapted to fit particular cases. In the end, the theory of electrolytic solutions will probably be a composite of various theories which now appear more or less applicable. Such a theory will doubtless embody some of the more fundamental elements of the older ionic theory.

A complete bibliography has not been attempted. References given as footnotes will serve as a key to the literature.
