My dear Sir
I do not know of any particular bookseller whose name I could in preference recommend to you[.] The nearest medical or general bookseller would be the one I should take[.] As to the works of Dalton & myself you will not be able to get them complete. Certain volumes of Daltons you can obtain but his papers have not been collected[.] As to myself you will be able to procure nothing but the volume of experimental researches in electricity recently published by Taylor of Red Lion court Fleet Street1. My work on manipulation is out of print2.
By the bye I have no doubt that Taylor would also get any of Daltons works that can be had.
