Geometry, and Mechanics began an examination of their fundamental principles years ago, and a firm foundation has now been set up for each of these sciences. The present time is decidedly philosophical in its trend, and in the past few years this task has been taken up with renewed vigour. The results of this labour form a valuable and fruitful portion of modern scientific knowledge. The end sought is the discovery of final truths and the relations between them, and these, when found, give safe foundation for further investigation. This does not mean the setting up of analogies and hypotheses, but the careful analysis of concepts and indication of the general facts of experience from which they are derived. In Chemistry research of this kind has been undertaken only casually and over small portions of the field. Franz Wald is one of the independents who has been working along this line for many years. General appreciation of the fundamental character of such investigation extends very slowly indeed. Three years ago, on the occasion of the Faraday lecture, I made an attempt to arouse the interest of chemists in these matters, but the result was not very encouraging. But few expressions of opinion were offered on this occasion, and these were largely contradictory in nature. It was quite evident that the question at issue was not clearly understood, and the entire matter was strange, even to chemists of note. But I know from personal experience that patient and continued labour can accomplish wonders even when the case seems hopeless. One must wait for the right time, and I am convinced that the time for this matter has arrived. The present book has for its object the presentation of the actual fundamental principles of the science of Chemistry, their meaning and connection, as free as possible from irrelevant additions. It represents in a sense the carrying o
