Number of Pages:
5
Date:
September 15, 1797
Dr. Joseph Priestley writes to Dr. Benjamin Smith Barton regarding Antiphlogistion enemies, a yellow fever outbreak, and scientist Dr. John Maclean. "I wish that you would give me any information that you may get of the notions of my Antiphlogistion enemies," as Priestley explains. Priestley also complains about Dr. Maclean's conduct. As "Dr. Maclean did not send me a copy of his pamphlet," Priestley notes that he was not aware of it until his "son met with it by accident and brought it to me." Transcript included.
