'In this essay, in addition to the set subject: 'a general investigation of the action on each other of two closed 

 vortices in a perfect incompressible Huid ', I have discussed some points which are intimately connected with it, and I 

 have endeavoured to apply some of the results to the vortex atom theory of matter.'— Pre/hce. It was awarded the 

 Adams Prize of Cambridj^e Uuiveisity.

The journal was afterwards edited by Richard Phillips, k.r.s., and in 1827 merged in the 'Philosophical Magazine.' 



The editor contributed to it, in 1813-14, a long and important series of papers, ' in which the atomic theory was applied to 



elucidate the composition of a very large number of compounds. These contributed largely to making the theory known, 



especially on the Continent of Europe.*— D. N. B. 



It also contains two anonymous papers, written in 1815, on the relation between the atomic weights of elements and 



the Hpeciflc gravity of their vapours. These were written by Dr. William Prout, who afterwards developed from them 



his erroneous hypothesis that hydrogen is a primary matter from which the other elements are formed by various 



condensations.

' In 1819 Thomson commenced a series of experimental researches wiih the view of testing, or ratherof confirming, the 

 theory of William Prout, that the atomic weights of all the elements are exact multiples of that of hydrogen. The results 

 of the many thousands of experiments which he conducted with this object were extremely favourable to the theory, and 

 were published in 1^25 under the title Attempt to establish the First Principles of Chemistry by Experiment.'— Dr. A.

' He visited Dalton in Manchester on 26 Aug. 1804, and received from him an account of the new [atomic] theory which 

 he introduced into the third edition of his ' System' published in 1807. This xoas the first detailed public announcement of 

 the theory, for Dalton did not publish his 'New System of Chemical Philosophy' (q. v. ante) until 1808 . . . The later 

 editions contain many of his own discoveries besides those of contemporaries. The work helped to improve the system 

 of classification adopted in chemical .science.' — D. N. B.
