[meteorite-list] The British Royal Society Digital Archives areopen (free) to public until Feb 2009

[Mark Grossman]

Well,

I clicked on the first link below, and what did I pull up - a list of
articles - and the very first item is an article that I wrote on Smithson
Tennant last year!  It was my first publication in a peer-reviewed journal
on the history of science.

I became involved with collecting meteorites through my other interest -
collecting autographs of famous scientists.  I obtained a letter written by
Alexander von Humboldt, started to research it, and one thing led to
another, and before I knew it, I was collecting meteorites.  The article
entitled "Smithson Tennant: meteorites and the final trip to France" details
Tennant's, as well as my journey, into the world of meteorites.

Writing the article also led me to join the meteorite list, as well as focus
my interest on the provenance of meteorite samples.

It's an interesting story - Tennant was involved with the Cape of Good Hope
and Limerick meteorites.

In any event, for those of you who decide to read the article, hope you
enjoy it!

Mark Grossman
