This review is from: John Dalton, 1766-1844: A Bibliography of Works by and About Him, With an Annotated List of His Surviving Apparatus and Personal Effects (Hardcover)

I used the 1966 first edition of this book in drafting a John Dalton entry for the free online expert-guided encyclopedia, Citizendium. See work in progress at: [...]. Collaborators encouraged. Delighted with this 1998 second edition, a more complete reference to Dalton history and historiography. Eager to explore the new sources this edition provides.
