About a month ago I sent a notice (see below) about a new paper of mine that
dealt with William Higgins (of Mooresfort and Limerick fame). The paper
appears in Notes & Records: The Royal Society Journal of the History of
Science.

This week, the Royal Society celebrates Open Access week, and my paper, as
well as the rest of the journal content, can be downloaded for free.

To obtain a download of my article "John Dalton and the London atomists:
William and Bryan Higgins, William Austin, and new Daltonian doubts about
the origin of the atomic theory' go to http://bit.ly/1vYU5go (or search
Notes & Records home page http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/).

Since William Higgins's nemesis was John Dalton, who introduced his table of
atomic weights on this very day in 1803 - (21 Oct 1803), why not celebrate
by downloading the paper for some new takes on how Dalton came up with his
theory. Higgins is remembered more for his battle with Dalton than his
papers about Mooresfort and Limerick.

And as noted below, my 2010 article on William Higgins, which deals with the
Mooresfort meteorite, is still available for free download at
http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/64/4/417.full.pdf+html?sid=b84224b4-73f2-434f-9478-ae9a198307c5.

Thanks!

Subject: [meteorite-list] Papers which may be of interest


> Three items which may be of interest.
>
> First, I came across a reference to a paper by M. Littmann and T. Suomela,
> 'Crowdsourcing, the great meteor storm of 1833, and the founding of meteor
> science', Endeavour 38(2), 130-138 (2014). Abstract available via
> http://www.journals.elsevier.com/endeavour/.
>
> Second, it's a while since I posted to the list. Reason - I was working
> on a paper that was just published in Notes & Records: The Royal Society
> Journal of the History of Science. Although Irish chemist William Higgins
> analyzed the Mooresfort and Limerick meteorites, he is best known for his
> battle with John Dalton over priority for the developoment of the atomic
> theory. My article "John Dalton and the London atomists" can be accessed
> by clicking on the article title listed in the FirstCite section in the
> lower left hand corner of the journal homepage at
> http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/. The abstract is availabe for
> free, as will the article after 1 year - perhaps sooner - if the Royal
> Society offers free content access as they periodically do. Otherwise
> it's the library or pay for download for now - no financial benefit for
> me - such is the world of academic publishing.
>
> Third, regarding Higgins and meteorites, you might want to check out my
> article published in Notes & Records in 2010 entitled "William Higgins at
> the Dublin Society", which is available for free download. Go to
> http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/ and search under the article
> title. The Mooresfort meteorite plays an important story in this paper.
>
> Hope to be able to post sooner and pick up on Meteorite Manuscripts where
> I left off a while ago.
