    chemistry have hitherto failed us because the general knowledge and laws necessary for these have not been at the disposal of scientific chemistry itself It is only within the last few years, i.e. since the development of the general theory of chemical reactions and states of equilibrium, that it has become possible to elaborate a theory of analytical reactions. It will be my en- deavour to show in the following pages to what a great extent light has been thrown from this quarter upon long familiar and daily recurring chemical phenomena. Leipzig, May 1894. b
