Editorial Reviews

Review

'Knight has selected his reprints for both content and context and not only as representative, indicating the range of chemistry as well as illuminating theories and experiments, but also as accessible to the general reader, a desideratum made more difficult as the century progressed and science became more specialized.' - Endeavour

'Having access to all these primary sources is invaluable to academic chemists and historians of science; they belong in all university and college libraries, undergraduates through professionals.' - M. Rossi, Vassar College

About the Author

David Knight is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Durham and Vice-President of the British Society for the History of Science.
