Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Scientific Work of Morris Loeb
This volumeis published as a memorial to Morris Loeb, a man of rare gifts who was called in his prime from his many-sided activities. The book will serve to make more accessible the thoughtful and suggestive writings of one of the American pioneers of the new physical chemistry. All the publications of the late Professor Loeb bearing upon scientific topics have here been brought together, except a few brief reviews in Italian possessing only tran sient interest; and there have been added such parts of several essays found in manuscript as he might have been willing to have printed. The collected papers have been divided into two groups; the first includes those of a gen eral character (such as essays, lectures, and reviews), and the second those recording the results of his original experi mental researches, which are more technical in their nature and less generally comprehensible. This division into two groups was made in order that essays having general interest should not be lost to the average reader by being hidden among scientific papers beyond his comprehension.
