Résumé :	"The object of this book is to record “as completely as possible those physico-chemical constants of organic compounds which have been measured with sufficient care to warrant their acceptance as data established with a precision worthy of contemporary science.” This object limits considerably the number of compounds that are listed, since thousands of compounds do not meet this criterion for various reasons: the literature may not give a sufficient description of the methods used so that accuracy of determinations and purity of the material could be assured; also, the constants of a great majority of compounds have been determined only with sufficient accuracy to prove the identity of the chemical. Rather stringent limitations are placed on the various physical constants which were accepted. For example, a boiling range would not be accepted which exceeded one-tenth degree. It is this type of careful scrutinization of literature values which makes the book outstanding and useful, for one can feel that information obtained from this source will be reliable. It is also of value that literature sources are given for the data contained in the book, references being made both to methods of purification and to determinations of constants. Chemicals are arranged in a logical fashion: hydrocarbons, halogenated derivatives, oxygenated derivatives, nitrogen compounds, mixed compounds (such as nitrohaloalkanes), sulfur derivatives, phosphorous derivatives, etc. Constants include critical constants, densities of liquid and saturated vapor, rectilinear diameter, saturated vapor pressure, boiling point, freezing point, the various constants of state, and heat constants. All these values are given so that there is uncertainty only in the last figure. Material is easy to locate in the book, since there are both subject and formula indexes. This promises to be a valuable reference work, and it is hoped that the book will be revised regularly as new data is made available."
