They defined acid-base reactions as processes that involve the transfer of proton (H+) from one substance to another. The one which donates the proton is the acid while the one that accepts the proton is the base.

These are aqueous systems that tend to resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid (H⁺) or base (OH⁻) are added
Buffers
are important because it tells you the pH of the solution at the equivalence point

He defined acids as substances that, when dissolved in pure water, increase the concentration of H+ ions, and bases are those that increase the concentration of OH− ions.
