1836 · 100 St. Vincent St., 21 Dec
by THOMSON, THOMAS
100 St. Vincent St., 21 Dec, 1836. I will take it as a favor if you will partake of a family dinner alone with me... 12mo, trimmed, 115 x 120mm., integral leaf detached. Although this could be Thomson the botanist (1817-1878), it is more likely his father (1773-1852), the chemist, who was an early and strong supporter of Dalton's atomic theory, and carried out numerous and important experiments on atomic weight.
