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 with 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, and sorry for not including this information in my first post.
