Wilhelm Ostwald (1853-1932), a pioneer in physical chemistry and the winner of the 1909 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, apologizes that he categorized Georg Bredig's (1868-1944) recent essay on catalysis as a report instead of a book and promises to look into the issue. Ostwald additionally mentions his upcoming plans to travel to Frankfurt and offers Bredig's colleagues a discount on his books.
