Abstract
POSSIBLY the most important generalisation in the whole history of chemistry is the atomic theory put forward by John Dalton in 1803, and it is a striking tribute to the shrewd intuition of that observer that of his five postulates only one seems to be in the least degree faulty, and more than a century of active and unremitting investigation has been necessary to detect the flaw in that.
