In Part I, Mahler introduces his classification of complex numbers and the following two results are proved. Let $\vartheta_1,\vartheta_2,\ldots,\vartheta_N$ be $N$ algebraic numbers that are linearly independent over the rationals and let $\lambda$ be a Liouville number. Then, the numbers $e^{\vartheta_1},e^{\vartheta_2},\ldots,e^{\vartheta_N},\lambda$ are algebraically independent over the field of algebraic numbers. Let $z$ be the real logarithm of a positive rational number not equal to one and let $\lambda$ be a Liouville number. Then, $z$ and $\lambda$ are algebraically independent over the field of algebraic numbers. \par Part II continues the study of the same title by giving various bounds on polynomials evaluated at logarithms and exponentials. A new proof of the transcendence of $\pi$ is given as an application. \par Reprint of the author's papers [J. Reine Angew.
