Two classical physical chemistry textbooks, Physical Chemistry (6th edition) by Levine and Physical Chemistry-A Molecular Approach by McQuarrie and Simon, are comprehensively introduced from several aspects including guiding principles of textbook compilation, main contents, chapter and section arrangements, main features, and some shortcomings. This paper can provide certain revelation and reference for the construction of domestic physical chemistry textbooks, and is also helpful for the teachers and students in the physical chemistry related courses to understand, study and use these two books.
