Books by John Dalton

Thanks for telling us about the problem. Return to Book Page. The renowned English chemist and meteorologist John Dalton published A New System of Chemical Philosophy in two volumes, between and Dalton's discovery of the importance of the relative weight and structure of particles of a compound for explaining chemical reactions transformed atomic theory and laid the basis for much of what is modern chemistry.

Volume 2 was published in It contains sections examining the weights and structures of two-element compounds in five different groups: An appendix contains a selection of brief notes and tables, including a new table of the relative weights of atoms. A planned second part was never published.

Dalton's work is a monument of nineteenth-century chemistry. It will continue to be read and enjoyed by anybody interested in the history and development of science.

Almost unreadable Instead of properly transcribing this book, the merchant has subjected it to a very poor OCR algorithm, without even spell checking it.
