THOMSON, THOMAS.

[? See below]. 1 p. A.N.s. presumably to Alexander Dallas Bache.

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. Item #3738
