Hi,

My apologies for not mentioning in my last post that another article of mine
is available for free from the Notes & Records of the Royal Society website.

This one deals about the relatively obscure British chemist Smithson Tennant
and his involvement with the study of meteorites in the early 1800s. It's a
bit of a detective story which begins with a letter that I purchased at
auction, which led to a Cape of Good Hope iron fashioned into a sword for an
Emperor, and ended up at the Museum of Natural History in Paris. There was
this sample of Limerick in the meteorite collection, whose donor was
unknown, and then...

But wait! I guess you better read the story if you want to find out the
ending! :-)

All kidding aside, if you're interested in obtaining another article for
free - I think it's kind of interesting - but then again all authors say the
same thing about their work - click on the link below.

Thanks.
