= Partington, A History of Chemistry IV, p.656ff. Rare first edition of this groundbreaking work on physical chemistry. "Van 't Hoff's book on chemical dynamics deals with reaction velocity and thermodynamics, and the theory of affinity as based on free energy. In a review of the book in 1885, Arrhenius said that the author: 'succeeds with relatively scanty experimental material in developing an imposing and harmonious scheme for the whole subject of chemical influences and actions... an enormous perspective has been opened out for future investigation'." (Partington).
