John Dalton, 1766-1844: A Bibliography of Works By and About Him [first edition]

The second edition of this bibliography contains more than half as many entries again as the original selection of 1966. New sections include an annotated list of surviving apparatus and personal effects, an index of letters and printed extracts of letters, and a current plan of Manchester, as well as one of 1793, showing places with Dalton associations. Annotations are relatively more generous and the number of illustrations almost doubled. Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society was central to Dalton’s life and researches. It inherited almost all his manuscripts and apparatus; much of the collection was destroyed in 1940.
