Gregory, J. C. Short introduction to the theory of electrolytic dissociation, [*]50c. Longmans.
“This is a useful little book for those students who, after taking a course of systematic chemistry, wish to know something of the behaviour of electrolytic solutions.” (Nature.) Its four chapters are entitled The condition of dissolved substances; Ions and precipitation; Hydrogen and hydroxyl ions; Electrolytic and general considerations.
“The language and mode of presentation are simple, and although one might take exception to many points of detail, the book, on the whole, should prove a trustworthy guide.”

Grenfell, Bernard Pyne; Drexel, Lucy Wharton; and Hunt, Arthur Surridge, eds. New sayings of Jesus, and fragments of a lost gospel, from Oxyrhynchus, Part IV. [*]40c. Oxford.
“The present volume contains for the most part papyri found in the second excavations at Oxyrhynchus in 1903. It will not be as amusing to the general reader as certain of the previous volumes, since it includes but few of the non-legal and non-literary, but excessively human, documents that gave in them such a sparkle of life to the pages of a very dead subject.... The volume contains a goodly number of interesting legal documents, which increase our knowledge of details of Egyptian administration and Graeco-Egyptian law. The number of personal letters is, as we have indicated, very few.”—Nation.
