Routledge Library Editions: Science and Atoms and Elements: A Study of Theories of Matter in England in the Nineteenth Century, Book 4, (Hardcover)

First published in 1967. The impression is sometimes given that the Atomic Theory was revived in the early years of the nineteenth century by John Dalton, and that continuously from then on it has played a vital role in chemistry. The aim of this study is to revise this over-simplified picture.
