A New System of Chemical Philosophy Paperback / softback
by John Dalton
Part of the Cambridge Library Collection - Physical Sciences series
Paperback / softback
Description
The chemist and meteorologist John Dalton (1766-1844) published A New System of Chemical Philosophy in two volumes, between 1808 and 1827.
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 1 was published in two parts, in 1808 and 1810.
Part 1 offers an account of Dalton's atomic theory. It contains chapters on temperature, the constitution of bodies, chemical synthesis and a number of plates including his famous table of symbols for the atoms of various elements.
Part 2 contains a chapter on elementary principles and twelve sections on different groups of two-element compounds.
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.
