Excerpt from Organic Chemistry for Advanced Students, Vol. 2
The object of recasting the former two volumes of the 'organic Chemistry for Advanced Students' in the three parts in which they now appear has been to group together allied subjects and to link them as far as possible in a consecutive form. As this entailed re-arrangement of the plates, an Opportunity was afforded of bringing the subject-matter up to date, and very considerable additions have been made to the contents of the former volumes. As stated in the original preface, the book is not intended to serve as a reference book, but to furnish a general survey of those fundamental principles which underlie the modern developments of this branch of chemistry.

Excerpt from Organic Chemistry for Advanced Students, Vol. 2
A complete knowledge of the structure of the different kinds of atoms and the forces inherent in them would enable us to picture not only the chemical attributes of different substances, but also the atomic and molecular forces which determine their cohesion (capillarity, viscosity, and density) in the liquid state, their crystalline form in the solid condition, their heat of fusion, of vaporisation, and of formation, and their action on light (refraction, rotatory polarisation, absorption, &c.). But so limited is our knowledge of the nature of the atom that not only are we unable to predict with any degree of confidence any one of the above attributes of the compounds into which the atoms enter, but there are few cases in which these properties have been brought into direct relation in one and the same substance. The reverse process, namely, by observations of the various physical attributes of compounds to connect them with those chemical properties upon which our knowledge of structure mainly rests, has afforded an attractive field for investigation. The application of the process to the study of organic compounds offers unusual advantages from the fact that it is in this domain of chemistry that the determination of structure by chemical methods has been pushed to its farthest extent.
Let us consider for a moment how a series of purely empirical observations of physical properties, resting upon no theory of atomic relations, may be made to subserve the study of structure. Suppose a particular physical property of a homologous series of paraffins to be determined, the results must be so formulated that a comparison can be instituted between the molecular effect of the different members of the series.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of physical constants and atomic and molecular information for advanced chemistry students. It includes a comprehensive study of organic compounds and their reactions, including molecular structure, isomerism, and stereochemistry. This book covers topics like optical anomaly and the particular case of benzene and its derivatives as well as providing standards for the elements, radicals and functional groups in organic compounds. This was one of the first books to collect all the knowledge available about atomic and molecular structure and reactions in one place and served to show the relationships between these concepts and the chemical properties of substances.
