Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I am glad, in the first place, to have my treatise rendered easily accessible to American students, one of the objects which I had in mind when writing it was to make the work of J. Willard Gibbs known and admired, I like to think it will contribute to enhance, within your active universities, the glory of your illustrious countryman. Furthermore, this glory is more and more resplendent every day, more and more clearly the author of the phase law appears as the initiator of a chemical revolution, and many do not hesitate to compare the Yale College professor to our Lavoisier. Chemists had fixed upon a certain number of properties by which they recognized a substance to be a definite compound, these characteristics are effaced by the phase rule, many substances, to which formulae had been attributed, are erased from the number of combinations, chemical science as a whole needs a revision at which the laboratories of America and Europe are working most diligently.
