Synopsis
Excerpt from Melting and Boiling Point Tables, Vol. 1
As is well known, two of the most characteristic properties of substances are the temperatures at which they melt and boil, and indeed, as regards organic compounds, are those properties by means of which these bodies are most easily recognised and their degree of purity ascertained. They are, therefore, almost always the properties to which the chemist first directs his attention when dealing with a new or unknown compound, and their determination consequently becomes of the greatest importance for both theoretical and practical purposes.
It therefore appeared probable that the publication of the enormous mass of data, which had been collected in the Tables, would be a great convenience to chemists, and especially to those working with compounds of carbon. This is more particularly the case, as the data referring to many comparatively rare compounds are extremely difficult to find, whilst those relating to the same substance not unfrequently vary between somewhat wide limits, so that it is very desirable to have all the available data tabulated for comparison, accompanied by references to the original papers.
