ABSTRACT NEW books on the kinetic theory of gases are rather rare phenomena. The best early comprehensive works on the subject were written in German, by O. E. Meyer (“Kinetische Theorie der
Gase”, first ed. 1877) and L. Boltzmann (“Vorlesungen uber Gastheorie”, vol. 1, 1895 ; vol. 2, 1898) ; the former book was meant for physicists, and the latter for mathematicians. The
second edition of Meyer's treatise, translated into English by R. E. Baynes, was published in 1899, and even now is worth reading. It has not been reprinted, probably because of the
appearance in 1904 of the first edition of Sir James Jeans's “Dynamical Theory of Gases”. Kinetic Theory of Gases: with an Introduction to Statistical Mechanics. By Prof. Earle H.
