Abstract
In June 1862, and in February 1863, I had the honour to lay before the Royal Society communications on the subject of the then newly discovered metal, Thallium. In these I gave an account of its occurrence, distribution, and the method of extraction from the ore, together with its physical characteristics and chemical properties; also I discussed the position of thallium among elementary bodies, and gave a series of analytical notes. In the pages of the 'Journal of the Chemical Society’ for April 1, 1864, I collated all the information then extant, both from my own researches and from those of others, introducing qualitative descriptions of an extended series of the salts of the metal. I propose in the present paper to lay before the Royal Society the details and results of experiments which have engrossed much of my spare time during the last eight years, and which consist of very laborious researches on the atomic weight of thallium. In these researches I owe much to the munificence of the Royal Society for having placed at my disposal a large sum from the Government Grant. Without this supplement to my own resources it would have been difficult for me to have carried out the investi­gation with such completeness.
