Abstract
THE story, adequately told, of the evolution of ideas and the development of knowledge concerning the stoichiometrical constants we term atomic weights forms a most interesting chapter in the history of the philosophy of chemistry. In point of time it would extend over no very long span. There are men living who are personally cognisant of its most important phases, and some of them in early life were acquainted with others owho may be said to have connected their own epoch with that of those who witnessed the beginning of experimental efforts to obtain quantitative estimations of their values.
