    TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE As in the previous English editions of these ‘Principles,’ so also in the present translation, it has been the aim of the Translator to give, as nearly as possible, a literal rendering of the Russian work. All the more important of the new figures in the original have been reproduced, the only omissions, which are few in number, being either portraits or illustrations of well-known apparatus. Of the Appendices issued with the first English edition, two have been retained; for permission to print the first of these we have to thank the Managers of the Royal Institution, while, for allowing the Faraday Lecture to appear, we are indebted to the Council of the Chemical Society of London. The matter of Appendix III. of the former English edition has now been incorporated into the text of the book, so that this appendix has been omitted. Its place is taken by an article, recently written by Professor Mendeleeff, on ‘ A Chemical Conception of the Ether.’ November, 1904. Gr. К T. H. P.
