At first this See also:work was merely a compilation, but in the later See also:editions many of his See also:original results were incorporated; the third edition (1807) is noteworthy as containing the first detailed See also:account of the atomic theory, communicated to him by See also:John See also:Dalton himself. In 1811 he See also:left Edinburgh, and after a visit to See also:Sweden went to See also:London, where in 1813 he began to edit the See also:Annals of See also:Philosophy, a monthly scientific See also:journal which in 1827 was merged in the Philosophical See also:Magazine. In 1817 he became lecturer in chemistry at See also:Glasgow University, and in the following See also:year was appointed to the regius See also:professor-See also:ship. This See also:chair he retained until his See also:death, which happened on the and of See also:July 1852 at Kilmun, Argyleshire; but from 1841 he was assisted by his See also:nephew and son-in-See also:law See also:ROBERT DUNDAS THoMsox (1810-1864), who subsequently became medical officer of See also:health for St Marylebone, London, and after 1846 he ceased active work altogether.

time when See also:practical work was scarcely recognized as a necessary See also:part of chemical See also:education. He did much to spread a knowledge of Dalton's atomic theory, and carried out many experiments in its support, but his strong predilections in favour of See also:Prout's See also:hypothesis tended to vitiate his results, many of which were sharply criticized by J. J. See also:Berzelius and other chemists. In addition to various textbooks he. published a See also:History of Chemistry (183o-1831) which has provided material for many chemical biographers, but which, although it reads very plausibly, cannot be regarded as an authority of unimpeachable accuracy.
