PREFACE
THE first edition of the Kinetics of Chemical Change in fjaaewj Systems
appeared in 1926, and was at the time a fairly complete monograph of at
least part of the field. The second and third editions were progressively
larger and less complete. To-day a fourth edition which attempted any
kind of comprehensiveness would have to be an encyclopaedic volume of
formidable dimensions. It is no mere taste for paradox which leads one
to doubt whether progress in a subject is reflected only in the increasing
size of the books written about it. Encyclopaedias are very valuable
works, but in some ways the ideal would be that successive editions of a
book should get smaller and smaller. A lot depends upon whom the
book is written for, and to cut the Gordian knot I decided instead of
a fourth edition to produce a new book which, without very great detail,
should give as simple and balanced account as possible of the general
principles of chemical kinetics. It is, of course, written for any one who
cares to read it, but primarily for' those who are interested in the wider
aspects of physical chemistry and who want to know, as serious students
though not as experts, what the general landscape of a particular part
of the country is like. If the treatment is in places impressionistic, I hope
it is so in the better sense which would allow a painting to be not less
true than a photograph. At any rate I believe that the shortcomings
are in the execution rather than in the method.
The examples discussed are no longer drawn exclusively from re-
actions in the gaseous state though these predominate. Convenience
rather than abstract justice has dictated their selection, and, indeed,
lest the author index be regarded as a minor temple of fame in which
representation has been granted or withheld with too arbitrary a hand,
I have omitted it. Just as in the third edition of the former book I
included a section which developed the wave mechanics needed in the
later discussions, so in the present book I have included a chapter on
elementary statistical mechanics, in which most of the kinetic and
statistical theory used in the rest of the treatment is specially worked
out for the purpose. This seems worth while for clearness and sim-
plicity, and indeed for abstract uniformity, since kinetic and statistical
theory is the very stuff of which chemical kinetics is made
