Dampstain in bottom right corner margin thoughout book. Front hinge starting. Howes Final Edition 82 b. for the first printing. Jenkins Basic Texas Books rev. ed. #157 A. F. L. Olmsted writes in the short Preface that "owing to the pressure of other occupations the preparation of the volume from the author's journal has been committed with free scope of expression and personality to his brother Dr. J. H. Olmsted his companion upon the trip." Olmsted and his partner Vaux went on to design Central Park in New York and parks for the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago among many other projects. Jenkins opines that this book is the most civilized of all 19th century books on Texas and also the most interesting and dependable. He also notes that the book was well-received in its time and was originally published in parts in the New York Times. More recent reviews are similarly favorable. Arthur M. Schlesinger said "it is an indispensable work in the process of recapturing the American past" and Larry McMurtry praised it as "an intelligent lively book packed with keen observation and lightened by a delicate strain of humor."

The law states that when a gas is absorbed in a liquid the weight of the gas dissolved is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas over the liquid. This discovery contributed directly to the atomic theory of Dalton.Parkinson: Breakthroughs: 1803 C "Dalton's own experiments on the solution of gases and the stimulus afforded by Henry's work have been seen as crucial in the development of the atomic theory."DSB VI p. 285.A paper by Humphrey Davy: "An Accont of some Experiemnts and Observations on the constituent Parts of certain astringent Vegetables; and on their Operating in Tanning.

"In January 1808 Thomson was the first to submit an experimental illustration of the law of multiple proportions doing so at least four months before the publication of Dalton's "New System of Chemistry Philosophy" 1808. This paper "On Oxalic Acid" also established a usefull method of determining empirical formulas."DSB XIII p. 373."This paper is also importent as he here introduces quantified chemical symbolism for compounds a compound with for instance two parts oxygen w and one part carbon c being denoted by 2w c." Parkinson in "Breakthroughs" 1808 C."In 1808 he Wollaston described his experiments on carbonates sulfates and oxalates which proved that the composition of these substances was regulated by the law of multiple proportions. These additional instances of the law were easely verifiable and were often mentioned as standard examples. Wollaston accepted that his findings were merely particular instances of Dalton's assertion that the atoms of elements united one to one or by simple multiple relation."DSB XIV p.488. </em> unknown
